A Comprehensive 2D-LC/MS/MS Profile of the Normal Human Urinary Metabolome.

ABSTRACT: Profiling bodily fluids is crucial for monitoring and discovering metabolic markers of disease. In this study, a comprehensive analysis approach based on 1D-LC-MS/MS and 2D-LC-MS/MS was applied to profile normal human urine metabolites from 348 children and 315 adults. A total of 2357 metabolites were identified, including 1831 endogenous metabolites and 526 exogenous ones. In total, 1005 metabolites were identified in urine for the first time. The urinary metabolites were mainly involved in amino acid metabolism, small molecule biochemistry, lipid metabolism and cellular compromise. The comparison of adult's and children's urine metabolomes showed adults urine had more metabolites involved in immune response than children's, but the function of binding of melatonin, which belongs to the e
