Metabolomics

Metabonomics/Metabolomics is a newly developed discipline following genomics and proteomics. Its main goal is to quantitatively study the multiple dynamic responses of living organisms to external stimuli, physiological and pathological changes, and genetic mutations in the level of metabolites in the body. The research objects are small molecular substances with a relative molecular mass within 1000 DA, such as lipids, ketones, and organic acids. Metabonomics/Metabolomics mainly has two basic research methods: Targeted metabolomics and Untargeted metabolomics.
