System-wide metabolic homeostasis is crucial for maintaining physiological functions of living organisms. Stable-isotope tracing metabolomics allows to unravel metabolic activity quantitatively by measuring the isotopically labeled metabolites, but has been largely restricted by coverage. Yet, de...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the plasma metabolic profile of patients with extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM).
METHOD: Plasma samples were collected from 32 AVM patients and 30 healthy controls (HC). Ultra-high performance liquid c...
Optimal handling is the most important means to ensure adequate sample quality. We aimed to investigate whether pre-centrifugation delay time and temperature could be accurately predicted and to what extent variability induced by pre-centrifugation management can be adjusted for. We used untarget...
