The Human Serum Metabolome

Abstract: Continuing improvements in analytical technology along with an increased interest in performing comprehensive, quantitative metabolic profiling, is leading to increased interest pressures within the metabolomics community to develop centralized metabolite reference resources for certain clinically important biofluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid, urine and blood. As part of an ongoing effort to systematically characterize the human metabolome through the Human Metabolome Project, we have undertaken the task of… Show more

“…The role of blood is to transport signaling compounds and waste products to various organs, defend against pathogens and blood loss, and regulate body temperature. 66,78 Serum is a common subject of metabolomics studies, spanning almost any human disease subject. 79 The placenta plays a crucial role in pregnancy and preeclampsia, and also itself has metabolic activity.…”

“…As a reference, the concentration of the twelve most abundant human serum metabolites detectable by NMR range from 5 mM (cholesterol) to 0.35 mM ((R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid). 27 Digital filtration may be impractical when residual signals are large, broad, and distorted, as in Figure 8a, but this is not the case here. Such filters can be easily automated to help with the normalisation of data destined for statistical analysis, especially when very low metabolite concentrations are expected.…”

“…Metabolomics, unlike the other -omics, provides a direct signature of the metabolic state of the organism (12)(13)(14). Recent advances in mass spectrometry allow the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of metabolites from small amounts of biological material (15,16).…”
