Abstract excerpt
Metabolomics is a powerful multiparameter tool for evaluating phenotypic traits associated with disease processes. We have used (1)H NMR metabolome profiling to characterize metabolic aberrations in a yeast model of Huntington's disease that are attributable to the mutant huntingtin protein's gain-of-toxic-function effects. A group of 11 metabolites (alanine, acetate, galactose, glutamine, glycerol, histidine,...
