Metabolomic Profiling

Meaning

A high-throughput, quantitative analytical technique used to comprehensively identify and measure the entire complement of small-molecule metabolites, known as the metabolome, present within a biological sample, such as blood, urine, or tissue. This snapshot of cellular biochemistry provides a direct functional readout of an organism’s physiological state, reflecting the integrated effects of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, lifestyle, and disease processes. Metabolomic profiling serves as a powerful tool in precision medicine for identifying biomarkers, understanding disease pathogenesis, and monitoring the response to therapeutic interventions in hormonal health.
