AN INTEGRATED 1H NMR, GC-MS AND HPLC-(ESI/TOF) BASED METABOLOMICS APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF ACUTE EXERCISE IN HUMAN SERUM METABOLOME

There is an increasing concern about the different response and effect that acute exercise induces on diabetic people and a novel insight into this effect can be performed using a metabolomic approach. Metabolomic is becoming widely spread used as a new and powerful tool for discerning significant changes at metabolic level. In this study we aimed to perform a non-targeted analysis and to identify metabolic differences arisen after 30 minutes of acute exercise in both young men suffering from Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and control individuals by using three different analytical platforms. A first overlook using 1H NMR to identify the largest compounds presents in the sample and a second stage using both gas (GC) and liquid (LC) chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry to identify the minority compounds.
