A 1H-NMR Based Metabonomics Study of Urine and Plasma Obtained from Healthy Human Subjects
Introduction
Metabonomics is well established as a means of disease and toxicity screening in experimental animals.Metabonomics will find increased application in the study of healthy and diseased humans. However, one of the major obstacles in clinical investigations is the greater variability in a human population.
Here, we describe an investigation on the plasma and urine samples of healthy male volunteers designed to evaluate the variability in metabonomic data, when severe life-style and dietary restrictions are imposed.
