The age estimation of bloodstains measures the time-dependent changes in the levels of bloodstain biomolecules. Although several studies have identified bloodstain metabolites as markers for estimating bloodstain age, none has consider gender and age-related metabolomic differences or long-time b...
Due to global aging, frailty and sarcopenia are increasing. Sarcopenia is defined as loss of volume and strength of skeletal muscle in elderlies, while frailty involves multiple domains of aging-related dysfunction, impaired cognition, hypomobility and decreased social activity. However, little i...
Metabolites in human biofluids reflect individual physiological body states influenced by various factors. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), we conducted non-targeted, non-invasive, comprehensive metabolomics using saliva of 27 healthy volunteers in Okinawa, consisting of 13 ...
Parkinson's Disease (PD) has been associated with a distinct odour, which emanates from the skin and is strongest in sebum-rich areas. In this study, sebum was sampled from participants using cotton gauze and the volatile components emanating from these swabs were analysed directly with thermal d...
