conclusions these findings suggest that nmr-based urinary metabonomics approach might be a useful tool for the clinical diagnosis of depression in hbv-infected patients and the six potential biomarkers could be helpful for developing an objective diagnostic method. limited by the number of recruited subjects, future studies are required to validate our conclusions. patients and methods in this ...

Heat-treated carbohydrate-rich foods may contain high levels of acrylamide (AA). Crisp bread is a significant dietary AA source in the Nordic countries. We studied whether urinary metabolites of AA could be candidate biomarkers of AA intake and internal dose in mice following dietary crisp bread administration or sc injection. The crisp bread was experimentally baked to contain three different ...

Studies of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques carried out in 1994 on human clinical samples had already suggested a “potential for diagnosis and studies of metabolism in situ” . Researchers found that, when this technique is applied to blood or urine, it gives an insight into the infected host microbial metabolism . A more recent study (2002) on urinary organic metabolites,...
