Metabolomics deals with the whole ensemble of metabolites (the metabolome). As one of
the‐omic sciences, it relates to biology, physiology, pathology and medicine; but metabolites …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high prevalence in the general population and is
associated with high mortality; a need therefore exists for better biomarkers for diagnosis …

The serum metabolome contains a plethora of biomarkers and causative agents of various
diseases, some of which are endogenously produced and some that have been taken up …

Complex diseases, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), are often multifactorial, caused
by multiple underlying pathological mechanisms. Here, to study the multifactorial nature of …

The human gut is inhabited by a complex and metabolically active microbial ecosystem.
While many studies focused on the effect of individual microbial taxa on human health, their …

Genetic factors modifying the blood metabolome have been investigated through genome-
wide association studies (GWAS) of common genetic variants and through exome …

After consumption of plant‐derived foods or beverages, dietary polyphenols such as
quercetin are absorbed in the small intestine and metabolized by the body, or they are …

NMR measures a relatively small portion of the human metabolome, which roughly
corresponds to all free small molecules present in concentrations≥ 1 μM. However, the …

To better understand the molecular mechanisms underpinning physiological variation in
human populations, metabolic phenotyping approaches are increasingly being applied to …

The review highlights the role of metabolomics in studying human gut microbial metabolism.
Microbial communities in our gut exert a multitude of functions with huge impact on human …
