Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of normalizing intensity data corresponding to the amount and / or concentration of a selected target metabolite in a biological sample of a mammalian subject according to claim 1, wherein said intensity data uses one or more internal The source reference metabolite is obtained by a metabolomics analysis method, and relates to the application of one or more compounds or derivatives thereof according to claim 13 as an endogenous reference metabolite in a metabolomics analysis method, said Compounds have a molecular mass of less than 1500 Da. technical field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of metabolomics. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for normalizing signals to be compared in metabolite assays. This new method relies on the use of endogenous metabolite concentrations as internal standards and allows the determination of concentrations and relative abundance and direct comparison be...
