Metabolomics Profiling

Meaning

Metabolomics profiling is a large-scale, systematic analysis of the small molecule metabolites—such as sugars, lipids, and amino acids—present within a biological sample like blood or urine, collectively known as the metabolome. This advanced diagnostic technique provides a functional snapshot of the body’s current physiological state, reflecting the integrated output of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. In the context of hormonal health, profiling identifies specific metabolic derangements that result from endocrine dysfunction, offering highly detailed targets for personalized nutritional and therapeutic interventions. It is a powerful tool for bridging the gap between genotype and phenotype.
