“…Fatty acid examples include 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid ( m/z , 199.169; RT, 7.10 min; medium-chain fatty acid associated with fatty acid metabolic disorders, potentially acquired from the microbial genera Pseudomonas , Moraxella , and Acinetobacter [ 65 , 66 ]), and palmitoleic acid ( m/z , 237.001; RT, 6.42 min; fatty acid commonly found in human adipose tissue; also acquired in diet from human breast milk [ 67 ]). Additional metabolites include cholesterol ( m/z , 369.352; RT, 10.5 min; essential sterol found in animals [( 6 ]), methionine ( m/z , 105.058; RT, 0.33 min; amino acid), and leucine enkephalin ( m/z , 336.192; RT, 3.21 min; peptide naturally produced in animal brains, including humans [ 6 , 68 ]). While a number of the shared metabolite features listed above provide key biological functions, some metabolites appear to be derived from dietary sources.…”
