Exploratory GC/MS-Based Metabolomics of Body Fluids
Part of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series (MIMB, volume 1730)GC/MS-based metabolomics is a powerful tool for metabolic phenotyping and biomarker discovery from body biofluids. In this chapter, we describe an untargeted metabolomic approach for plasma/serum and fecal water sample profiling. It describes a multistep procedure, from sample preparation, oximation/silylation derivatization, and data acquisition using GC/QToF to data processing consisting in data extraction and identification of metabolites
