Metabolomics refers to the systematic identification and quantification of the metabolome of a biological system at a specific point in time. And metabolome means the complete set of small-molecule chemicals found within a biological sample. Its main goal is to qualitatively and quantitatively study the diverse dynamic responses of living organisms to external stimuli, physiological and pathological changes, and genetic mutations, focusing on the levels of endogenous metabolites. The research primarily involves small molecule substances with a relative molecular mass ≤1000 Da, such as organic acids, amino acids, nucleotides, sugars, lipids, vitamins, etc.
