Application of 1H NMR Metabolomics to a Murine Model of Inflammatory Arthritis

The novel quantitative technique of "Targeted Profiling" of 1H 1D NMR data is applied to a unique model of rheumatoid arthritis. A number of candidate biomarkers not previously identified using NMR techniques are identified related to inflammation and immune response. The pharmaceutical relevance of several of these metabolites is discussed.
