Introduction
Metabolite identification in biological samples using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra is a challenging task due to the complexity of the biological matrices.Objectives
This paper introduces a new, automated computational scheme for the identification of metabolites in 1D 1H NMR spectra based on the Human Metabolome Database.Methods
The methodological scheme comprises of the sequential application of preprocessing, data reduction, metabolite screening and combination selection.Results
The proposed scheme has been tested on the 1D 1H NMR spectra of: (a) an amino acid mixture, (b) a serum sample spiked with the amino acid mixture, (c) 20 blood serum, (d) 20 human amniotic fluid samples, (e) 160 serum samples from publicly available database. The methodological scheme was compared against widely used software tools, exhibiting good performance in terms of correct assignment of the metabolites.Conclusions
This new robust scheme accomplishes to automatically identify peak resonances in 1H-NMR spectra with high accuracy and less human intervention with a wide range of applications in metabolic profiling.2.

Background
Experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) is a well-known animal model of human demyelinating polyneuropathies and is characterized by inflammation and demyelination in the peripheral nervous system. Fascin is an evolutionarily highly conserved cytoskeletal protein of 55 kDa containing two actin binding domains that cross-link filamentous actin to hexagonal bundles.Methods
Here we have studied by immunohistochemistry the spatiotemporal accumulation of Fascin?+?cells in sciatic nerves of EAN rats.Results
A robust accumulation of Fascin?+?cell was observed in the peripheral nervous system of EAN which was correlated with the severity of neurological signs in EAN.Conclusion
Our results suggest a pathological role of Fascin in EAN.Virtual slides

Introduction
Although it is still at a very early stage compared to its mass spectrometry (MS) counterpart, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lipidomics is worth being investigated as an original and complementary solution for lipidomics. Dedicated sample preparation protocols and adapted data acquisition methods have to be developed to set up an NMR lipidomics workflow; in particular, the considerable overlap observed for lipid signals on 1D spectra may hamper its applicability.Objectives
The study describes the development of a complete proton NMR lipidomics workflow for application to serum fingerprinting. It includes the assessment of fast 2D NMR strategies, which, besides reducing signal overlap by spreading the signals along a second dimension, offer compatibility with the high-throughput requirements of food quality characterization.Method
The robustness of the developed sample preparation protocol is assessed in terms of repeatability and ability to provide informative fingerprints; further, different NMR acquisition schemes—including classical 1D, fast 2D based on non-uniform sampling or ultrafast schemes—are evaluated and compared. Finally, as a proof of concept, the developed workflow is applied to characterize lipid profiles disruption in serum from β-agonists diet fed pigs.Results
Our results show the ability of the workflow to discriminate efficiently sample groups based on their lipidic profile, while using fast 2D NMR methods in an automated acquisition framework.Conclusion
This work demonstrates the potential of fast multidimensional 1H NMR—suited with an appropriate sample preparation—for lipidomics fingerprinting as well as its applicability to address chemical food safety issues.5.

Introduction
Meningitis, a morbidly infectious central nervous system pathology is accompanied by acute inflammation of the meninges, causing raised intracranial pressure linked with serious neurological sequelae.Objective
To observe the variation in the metabolic profile, that may occur in serum and urine along with CSF in adults using 1H NMR spectroscopy, with an attempt of appropriate and timely treatment regimen.Methods
The 1H NMR-based metabolomics has been performed in 115 adult subjects for differentiating bacterial meningitis (BM) and tubercular meningitis (TBM).Results
The discriminant function analysis (DFA) of the three bio-fluids collectively identified 3-hydroxyisovalerate, lactate, glucose, formate, valine, alanine, ketonic bodies, malonate and choline containing compounds (choline and GPC) as significant metabolites among cases versus control group. The differentiation of bacterial meningitis and tuberculous meningitis (BM vs. TBM) can be done on the basis of identification of 3-hydroxyisovalerate, isobutyrate and formate in case of CSF (with a correct classification of 78 %), alanine in serum (correct classification 60 %), valine and acetone in case of urine (correct classification 89.1 %). The NMR spectral bins based orthogonal signal correction principal component analysis score plots of significant metabolites obtained from DFA also provided group classification among cases versus control group in CSF, serum and urine samples. The variable importance in projection scores also identified similar significant metabolites as obtained from DFA, collectively in CSF, serum and urine samples, responsible for differentiation of meningitis.Conclusion
The CSF contained metabolites which are formed during infection and inflammation, and these were also found in significant quantity in serum and urine samples.6.

Introduction
Anticancer treatment results in temporary or permanent toxicity considered as changes in normal tissues and/or involved regions. The net effect is mirrored in morphological, functional and molecular disturbances—thus in a systemic response of the human body. To date, specific NMR biomarkers of radiation therapy toxicity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients are scarce or even missing.Objectives
We aimed to investigate molecular processes reflecting acute radiation sequelae (ARS) in HNSCC patients using NMR-based metabolomics of blood serum.Methods
45 patients with HNSCC were treated with radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CHRT). Blood samples were collected within a week after RT/CHRT completion. Patients were divided into two classes (of high and low ARS) on the basis of the highest individual ARS value observed during the treatment. 1H NMR spectra of serum samples were acquired on a Bruker 400.13 MHz spectrometer at 310 K and analyzed using principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. Additional statistical analyses were performed on quantified metabolites.Results
1D projections of the J-resolved NMR spectra seem to be of the great potential in the quest for the HNSCC treatment toxicity biomarker. The metabolic features characteristic for high ARS are the increased signals of N-acetyl-glycoprotein and acetate, as well as decrease of choline and the metabolites involved in energy metabolism: branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), alanine, creatinine and carnitine. Furthermore, we observed significant correlations between N-acetyl-glycoprotein and clinical markers of inflammation as well as acetate and a percentage-weight-loss during the treatment. CRP was also negatively correlated with alanine and BCAAs.Conclusion
NMR-based metabolomics provides relevant biomarkers of RT/CHRT toxicity (ARS) in HNSCC patients. The results indicate at least three concomitant processes related to high ARS: inflammation, altered energy metabolism and disturbed membrane metabolism, and indicate an exciting potential of J-resolved NMR spectroscopy combined with multivariate projection techniques.7.

Introduction
Experiments in metabolomics rely on the identification and quantification of metabolites in complex biological mixtures. This remains one of the major challenges in NMR/mass spectrometry analysis of metabolic profiles. These features are mandatory to make metabolomics asserting a general approach to test a priori formulated hypotheses on the basis of exhaustive metabolome characterization rather than an exploratory tool dealing with unknown metabolic features.Objectives
In this article we propose a method, named ASICS, based on a strong statistical theory that handles automatically the metabolites identification and quantification in proton NMR spectra.Methods
A statistical linear model is built to explain a complex spectrum using a library containing pure metabolite spectra. This model can handle local or global chemical shift variations due to experimental conditions using a warping function. A statistical lasso-type estimator identifies and quantifies the metabolites in the complex spectrum. This estimator shows good statistical properties and handles peak overlapping issues.Results
The performances of the method were investigated on known mixtures (such as synthetic urine) and on plasma datasets from duck and human. Results show noteworthy performances, outperforming current existing methods.Conclusion
ASICS is a completely automated procedure to identify and quantify metabolites in 1H NMR spectra of biological mixtures. It will enable empowering NMR-based metabolomics by quickly and accurately helping experts to obtain metabolic profiles.8.

Introduction
The differences in fecal metabolome between ankylosing spondylitis (AS)/rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and healthy individuals could be the reason for an autoimmune disorder.Objectives
The study explored the fecal metabolome difference between AS/RA patients and healthy controls to clarify human immune disturbance.Methods
Fecal samples from 109 individuals (healthy controls 34, AS 40, and RA 35) were analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Data were analyzed with principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal projection to latent structure discriminant (OPLS-DA) analysis.Results
Significant differences in the fecal metabolic profiles could distinguish AS/RA patients from healthy controls but could not distinguish between AS and RA patients. The significantly decreased metabolites in AS/RA patients were butyrate, propionate, methionine, and hypoxanthine. Significantly increased metabolites in AS/RA patients were taurine, methanol, fumarate, and tryptophan.Conclusion
The metabolome variations in feces indicated AS and RA were two homologous diseases that could not be distinguished by 1H NMR metabolomics.9.

Introduction
High-fat and high-carbohydrate diets cause a number of metabolic disorders in mammals. However, little is known about metabolomic changes caused by dietary imbalances in fish.Objectives
The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of high-fat diet (HFD), high-carbohydrate diet (HCD) and high-fat-high-carbohydrate diet (HFHCD) on metabolites in a farmed cyprinid fish Megalobrama amblycephala.Methods
We have employed the 1H NMR-based metabolomic approach to measure the concentrations of metabolites in plasma and liver of four different diet groups: HFD, HCD, HFHCD and control. Multivariate statistical analyses were used to determine significantly changed metabolites between all group-pairs.Results
All three test diets have affected metabolic profiles, phenotypes and clinical chemistry. High-fat diets (HFD, HFHCD) resulted in a higher average weight than HCD, but high-carbohydrate diets (HCD, HFHCD) caused signs of liver damage. HCD has resulted in elevated metabolites in energy pathways, leading to further disturbances in creatine pathway. Excess of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism products in the HFHCD group appears to have caused “congestion” of the TCA cycle, causing a significant decline in the numbers of amino acids entering the cycle, which in turn resulted in elevated levels of seven amino acids in this group. Gut microbiota metabolites (TMA) exhibited a strong positive correlation with the carbohydrate content and a negative correlation with the fat content in diets.Conclusion
These results provide an important insight into the diet-affected metabolic disorders that often lead to financial losses in the aquaculture of Megalobrama amblycephala.Graphical Abstract
