The Human Serum Metabolome
As part of our objective to systematically characterize the human metabolome and advance the fields of quantitative metabolomics, we present a global metabolic profiling of the human serum. Our experimental results indicated that global metabolic profiling methods can routinely detect more than 4200 different compounds in serum. Comprehensive, web-accessible tables containing the compounds, concentrations, spectra, protocols and links to disease associations are freely available at: http://www.serummetabolome.ca
