Abstract | |||
A metabolic phenotype represents the collection of all metabolites within a biological system and it reflects the influence of both genetic and lifestyle factors. Metabolomics is a field of research that studies metabolic phenotypes by characterizing large numbers (e.g. 800+) of small molecules within biofluids, such as plasma or urine. This goal of this study is to use metabolomics techniques to identify specific metabolites or metabolic profiles that can be used as biomarkers for lifestyle-related exposures or as prospective markers for cancer risk. |
