PURPOSE: Amino acids (AAs) play important physiological roles in living cells. Some amino acid changes in blood are specific for autoimmune disorders, and some are specific for thyroid cancer. The aims of this study were to profile AA metabolites in the serum of patients with pap...
Owing to its compositional and chemical complexity, much of the gut microbiota metabolome remains poorly characterized. Aromatic amino acids (AAAs) have a history of being privileged substrates for the biosynthesis of diverse bioactive metabolites and thus represent a potentially rich source of b...
OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is the most common chronic neurological disease in dogs, and an established natural animal model for human epilepsy types with genetic and unknown etiology. However, the metabolic pathways underlying IE remain largely unknown. METHODS: Plasma samples of healthy...
Purpose: To explore the plasma metabolite profiles of patients with early primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and investigate their relevance to ocular characteristics and retinal-associated parameters.
Methods:Plasma samples were obtained from 30 early PACG patients and 30 healthy contro...
INTRODUCTION: Restricted or enhanced intrauterine growth is associated with elevated risks of early and late metabolic problems in humans. Metabolomics based on amino acid and carnitine/acylcarnitine profile may have a role in fetal and early postnatal energy metabolism. In this ...
