Metabolomics in premature labor: a novel approach to identify patients at risk for preterm delivery
26 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Biomarkers for preterm labor (PTL) and delivery can be discovered through the analysis of the transcriptome (transcriptomics) and protein composition (proteomics). Characterization of the global changes in low-molecular weight compounds which constitute the 'metabolic network' of cells (metabolome) is now possible by using a 'metabolomics' approach. Metabolomic profiling has special advantages over...
