Metabolic Profiles

Meaning

A comprehensive set of biochemical data derived from the quantitative analysis of various metabolites, lipids, hormones, and enzymes circulating in the blood or present in other biological fluids, reflecting the current functional state of an individual’s metabolism. These profiles provide a snapshot of energy utilization, nutrient processing, and waste elimination pathways, offering insights into conditions like insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and mitochondrial function. Clinically, they are powerful tools for personalized health and disease risk stratification.
