(biochemistry) The study of the range of metabolites present in a person's body at normal times, and when suffering from specific diseases; may be useful as a diagnostic tool
“However, the combination of metabolomics and transcriptomics will describe and unravel complex biological system relations.”
“Biology is going through a revolution driven by a series of technological breakthroughs in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.”
“A genomics analysis on sulphur metabolism has been conducted at the level of transcriptomics and metabolomics.”
metabolome
(biochemistry) The complete set of metabolites found in a biological sample; especially that found in a person's body under normal conditions, and when suffering from a disease
“The second peak in the concentration-time profile indicated that matrix in WCE may slow the metabolization and excretion of active compounds.”
“Additionally, from our data it cannot be ruled out that a different metabolization may be evident in injured muscle tissue.”
“Nitric oxide generation during cellular metabolization of the diabetogenic N-methyl-N-nitroso-urea streptozotocin contributes to islet cell DNA damage.”
“With the use of uplifting essential oils their metabolisms could be fooled into leapfrogging hibernation, believing they had already arrived in the scent of spring.”
“Barrick and Showers contend that isotopic tests can tell warm-blooded from cold-blooded metabolisms.”
“Initial studies on their metabolic rates found leatherbacks had resting metabolisms around three times higher than expected for reptiles of their size.”
