Metabolic Profiling

Meaning

Metabolic Profiling, often synonymous with metabolomics, is a sophisticated laboratory approach that involves the large-scale identification and quantification of all small-molecule metabolites within a biological sample. This analysis provides a dynamic, functional readout of an individual’s biochemical status, reflecting the integrated outcome of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors on metabolic pathways. It is a key methodology in precision medicine for identifying early disease markers and tailoring therapeutic interventions.
