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, ...
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...
