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...
Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become a standard technology in metabolomics. In particular, label-free quantification based on LC-MS is easily amenable to large-scale studies and thus well suited to clinical metabolomics. Large-scale studies, however, require autom...
Hemerocallis citrina Baroni is a traditional medical and edible plant with various health benefits. Currently, many phytochemical analyses have been performed and various biological constituents have been extracted from H. citrina. Flavonoid compounds are a kind of important bioactive components....
Dementia is caused by factors that damage neurons. We quantified small molecular markers in whole blood of dementia patients, using non-targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS). Thirty-three metabolites, classified into 5 groups (A-E), differed significantly in dementia patients, ...
