Introduction
The surveillance of illegal anabolic practices in bovine meat production is necessary to guarantee consumers’ health. Screening strategies based on the recognition of indirect biological effects are considered by the community as promising tools to overcome some limitations of classical analytical methods and might therefore concur to ensure safer food for the consumer.Objectives
The present work aims at characterizing the metabolic profile induced in liver by administration of anabolic steroids, and at identifying potential disturbances in the hepatic metabolism.Methods
A total of 32 liver samples, 16 from untreated bulls and 16 from bulls treated with an ear implant (Revalor-XS®) containing trenbolone acetate (200 mg) and β-estradiol (40 mg), were analyzed following a LC–MS-based metabolomic analysis combining RP and HILIC chromatographic separations. Different multivariate statistical tools were applied to the datasets to select common metabolites that may be considered as potential markers based on their significant changes in concentrations after administration of sexual steroids.Results
Eight candidate markers were identified. Moreover, a subset of four markers was also validated by a different laboratory that performed the same analysis using an independent instrumental and elaboration platform, confirming the robustness of the results achieved.Conclusion
This study was performed mimicking experimental conditions that may be used during a potential misuse practice. It is promising in the objective of setting up an analytical strategy to highlight sexual steroids abuse in livestock animals.2.

Introduction
Ketosis is a common metabolic disorder, which is characterized by elevated concentrations of ketone bodies or ketoacids in three body fluids including blood, urine, and milk. Two of the ketones including β-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid are strong acids which at high concentrations trigger ketoacidosis influencing physiological functions of various tissues and organs.Objectives
The objectives of this study were to: (1) investigate mineral alterations in both serum and urine of preketotic, ketotic, and postketotic cows, (2) identify potential predictive and diagnostic mineral biomarkers for ketosis in serum and urine, and (3) better understand the role of minerals in the pathobiology of the disease.Methods
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry metallotyping was performed in the serum and urine of six cases of ketosis and 20 healthy controls cows at ?8 and ?4 weeks prepartum, at disease diagnosis week, and at +4 and +8 weeks postpartum.Results
Data showed that concentrations of aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and arsenic (As) were greater (P?<?0.001) in the serum of preketotic, ketotic and postketotic cows at most of the tested time points. Moreover, boron (B) and Al as well as calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and magnesium (Mg) were found to be elevated in the urine of preketotic and postketotic cows (P?<?0.001).Conclusions
It is concluded that alterations of mineral elements observed in the serum and urine of preketotic, ketotic, and postketotic cows might be related to the state of chronic acidosis in those cows. The mineral elements identified in both serum and urine can be used as biomarkers to early diagnose ketosis at its pre-subclinical state and develop preventive interventions in the future.3.

Objective and Design
Psoriasis is a common, enigmatic, and recurrent disease. The precise etiology and pathogenesis of psoriasis are still unclear. Psoriasis has been treated as an inflammatory disorder related to an underlying Th1/Th17-dominated immune response. Interleukins are involved in the development of psoriasis lesions through Th-17-associated inflammation. Th1 and Th17 cytokines are found in skin lesions and in the peripheral blood of psoriasis patients.We sought to analyze serum levels of IL-1-β, IL-8, IL-9, IL-27, IL-29, IL-35, IFN-γ, TNF and TGF-β in patients with psoriasis and healthy control volunteers.Material
Blood samples were collected from fifty-three patients with psoriasis and thirty-five healthy controls.Methods
Serum cytokines concentrations were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
Serum IL-8, IL-9, IL-27, IL-29 and TNF levels were statistically significant in psoriasis patients. Detectable serum IL-9 levels were found in 47 patients of the 53 in the psoriasis group.Conclusions
Interleukins-8, 27, 29 and TNF levels measured in the serum of psoriasis patients were slightly elevated as compared to healthy controls in a weakly significant way. On the other hand, there were highly significant differences in IL-9 levels between the two groups.4.

Introduction
The risk of acute myocardial infarction in young women is low, but increases during pregnancy due to the physiological changes in pregnancy, including hypercoagulability. Ischaemic heart disease during pregnancy is not only associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality, but also with high neonatal complications. Advancing maternal age and other risk factors for cardiovascular diseases may further increase the risk of ischaemic heart disease in young women.Methods
We searched the coronary angiography database of a Dutch teaching hospital to identify women with acute myocardial infarction who presented during pregnancy or postpartum between 2011 and 2013.Results
We found two cases. Both women were in their early thirties and both suffered from myocardial infarction in the postpartum period. Acute myocardial infarction was due to coronary stenotic occlusion in one patient and due to coronary artery dissection in the other patient. Coronary artery dissection is a relatively frequent cause of myocardial infarction during pregnancy. Both women were treated by percutaneous coronary intervention and survived.Conclusion
Physicians should be aware of the increased risk of myocardial infarction when encountering pregnant or postpartum women presenting with chest pain.5.

Introduction
Periodontitis is a chronic, non-reversible inflammatory disease of the oral cavity leading to destruction of periodontal tissues. Thus, the estimation of bacterial metabolite, tissue damage and secretory metabolites of the triggered inflammatory cells likely to yield results. It may be of value for understanding the pathophysiology of the disease by metabolic profiling of saliva samples using high-resolution NMR spectroscopy.Objective
The study will evaluate the difference in salivary metabolites in healthy and periodontal condition along with fetching of possible biomarkers in case of chronic periodontitis.Methods
1H- NMR spectroscopy has been employed in 114 saliva samples in search of distinctive differences and spectral data were further subjected to multivariate analysis.Result
One-hundred metabolites were characterised and assigned in the 1H NMR spectra of saliva. The statistical analysis of control (Healthy subjects) and diseased (Periodontal subjects) using PLS-DA model resulted in R2 of 0.84 and Q2 of 0.79. There was an elevation in the concentration of statistically discriminant metabolites. The twenty newly identified metabolites in saliva indicates bacterial population shift along with change in homeostasis. These disturbs the biofilm, a real protector against any possible bio-damage on tooth surface. These newly identified metabolites could define better geographically diversified periodontal condition.Conclusion
Analysis clearly differentiates healthy subjects from the diseased ones. Few newly identified metabolites along with the pool of metabolites may serve as biomarkers for distinguishing the severity and complexity of periodontitis.6.

Background
The objective of this study was to evaluate serum IGF-I levels in postmenopausal women with breast cancer treated primarily with raloxifene.Methods
Twenty-two postmenopausal patients with operable, stage I or II, estrogen receptor-positive carcinomas participated in this study. Following confirmation of diagnosis, the patients received 60 mg of raloxifene for 28 days prior to definitive surgery. Blood samples were collected for evaluation of serum IGF-I levels prior to initiating medication and following a 28-day treatment course. Student's t-test for paired samples was used in the statistical analysis. Significance was established at p < 0.05.Results
Mean serum IGF-I levels pre- and post-raloxifene treatment were 143.7 ± 9.7 ng/ml and 94.8 ± 7.6 ng/ml, respectively. This reduction in serum IGF-I levels following treatment with raloxifene was statistically significant (p < 0.001).Conclusion
Raloxifene significantly reduced serum IGF-I levels in postmenopausal women with breast cancer.7.

Background
Cord blood lipids are potential disease biomarkers. We aimed to determine if their concentrations were affected by delayed blood processing.Method
Refrigerated cord blood from six healthy newborns was centrifuged every 12 h for 4 days. Plasma lipids were analysed by liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy.Results
Of 262 lipids identified, only eight varied significantly over time. These comprised three dihexosylceramides, two phosphatidylserines and two phosphatidylethanolamines whose relative concentrations increased and one sphingomyelin that decreased.Conclusion
Delay in separation of plasma from refrigerated cord blood has minimal effect overall on the plasma lipidome.8.

Introduction
Understanding the changes occurring in the oral ecosystem during development of gingivitis could help improve prevention and treatment strategies for oral health. Erythritol is a non-caloric polyol proposed to have beneficial effects on oral health.Objectives
To examine the effect of experimental gingivitis and the effect of erythritol on the salivary metabolome and salivary functional biochemistry.Methods
In a two-week experimental gingivitis challenge intervention study, non-targeted, mass spectrometry-based metabolomic profiling was performed on saliva samples from 61 healthy adults, collected at five time-points. The effect of erythritol was studied in a randomized, controlled trial setting. Fourteen salivary biochemistry variables were measured with antibody- or enzymatic activity-based assays.Results
Bacterial amino acid catabolites (cadaverine, N-acetylcadaverine, and α-hydroxyisovalerate) and end-products of bacterial alkali-producing pathways (N-α-acetylornithine and γ-aminobutyrate) increased significantly during the experimental gingivitis. Significant changes were found in a set of 13 salivary metabolite ratios composed of host cell membrane lipids involved in cell signaling, host responses to bacteria, and defense against free radicals. An increase in mevalonate was also observed. There were no significant effects of erythritol. No significant changes were found in functional salivary biochemistry.Conclusions
The findings underline a dynamic interaction between the host and the oral microbial biofilm during an experimental induction of gingivitis.9.

Introduction
In patients with obstructive jaundice, biliary drainage sometimes fails to result in improvement. A pharmaceutical-grade choleretic herbal medicine, Inchinkoto (ICKT), has been proposed to exert auxiliary effects on biliary drainage; however, its effects are variable among patients.Objectives
The aim of this study is to explore serum biomarkers that are associated with pharmaceutical efficacy of ICKT.Methods
Obstructive jaundice patients who underwent external biliary decompression were enrolled (n?=?37). ICKT was given orally 3 times a day at daily dose of 7.5 g. Serum and bile samples were collected before, 3 h after, and 24 h after ICKT administration. The concentrations of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and total bile acid in bile specimens were measured. Metabolites in serum samples were comprehensively profiled using LC–MS/MS and GC–MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic analysis of major ICKT components was also performed.Results
ICKT administration significantly decreased serum ALT and increased bile volume after 24 h. The serum concentrations of ICKT components were not well correlated with the efficacy of ICKT. However, the ratio of 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid to arachidonic acid and the ratio of glutaric acid to niacinamide, exhibited good performance as biomarkers for the efficacy of ICKT on bile flow and ALT, respectively. Additionally, comprehensive correlation analysis revealed that serum glucuronic acid was highly correlated with serum total bilirubin, suggesting that this metabolite may be deeply involved in the pathogenesis of jaundice.Conclusions
The present study indicates that ICKT is efficacious and provides candidates for predicting ICKT efficacy. Further validation studies are warranted.10.

Introduction
Anabolic steroids are frequently misused for performance enhancement during sports competitions. One of the major bottlenecks in the confident analysis of steroids and their metabolites is the non-availability/cost of standard reference compounds.Objective
The study objective was to identify the common metabolites of prohibited anabolic steroids that are produced in both fungi and human and thus can be synthesized in bulk using fungal cultures. Mesterolone is used as a case study.Methods
The study was conducted in three steps; we first studied the fungal transformation of mesterolone. In the second step, these metabolites were used as references to detect in human urine after the oral use of mesterolone using LC-ESI-QqQ-MS/MS. In the third step, 12 fungal cultures were screened to evaluate their potential to produce reference markers.Results
This led to the detection of two metabolites, 6α-hydroxymesterolone (M1) and 7α-hydroxymesterolone (M2) that were found to be common in both, fungal cultures and human urine samples. Moreover, Rhizopus stolonifer and Beauveria bassiana can be considered as good candidates to produce M1 and M2 metabolites, respectively.Conclusion
This approach can be employed for the synthesis of marker compounds of other prohibited anabolic steroids thus can be detected efficiently during national and international sports competitions.11.

Introduction
Digestion resistant carbohydrates (DRC) are complex carbohydrates that resist digestion and absorption in the small bowel. Diets high in DRC can have wide ranging impacts on the health of the host, which include changes to immunity and allergy, incidence of cardiovascular disease, and obesity.Objectives
The aim of this study was to characterise the effects of DRC (inulin, konjac or resistant starch) on large intestinal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations and serum metabolite and lipid profiles.Methods
A rat model was used to compare the effects of feeding a basal diet or the basal diet containing 5 % inulin, konjac or resistant starch for 14 days.Results
Of the three DRC, inulin had the greatest effect; ten serum phospholipids differed significantly in abundance between inulin-treated and control rats. In particular phosphatidylcholines and lysophosphatidylcholines containing fatty acyl chains 22:5, 22:4, 20:4, 18:0 and 16:0 were increased in the inulin-fed group, whereas phosphocholines containing fatty acyls 20:5 and 22:6 were decreased.Conclusion
These results indicated an impact on both n-3 and n-6 fatty acid metabolism as a result of inulin dietary intake. Increased intestinal concentrations of SCFA were detected in rats fed DRC, but only inulin caused appreciable changes to serum lipid profiles.12.

Introduction
Data sharing is being increasingly required by journals and has been heralded as a solution to the ‘replication crisis’.Objectives
(i) Review data sharing policies of journals publishing the most metabolomics papers associated with open data and (ii) compare these journals’ policies to those that publish the most metabolomics papers.Methods
A PubMed search was used to identify metabolomics papers. Metabolomics data repositories were manually searched for linked publications.Results
Journals that support data sharing are not necessarily those with the most papers associated to open metabolomics data.Conclusion
Further efforts are required to improve data sharing in metabolomics.13.

Introduction
The lipid metabolism is one of the most important and complex processes in the body. Serum concentrations of 18 fatty acids (FAs) and 24 lipoprotein features, i.e. concentrations of lipoprotein main and subclasses and average particle size in main classes, in 195 ethnic Norwegian children from the rural Fjord region were quantified by chromatography.Objectives
To assess gender differences in prepubertal children and reveal predictive FA patterns for lipoprotein features.Methods
Lipoprotein features were modelled from FA profiles using multivariate regression.Results
Contrary to observations for adults from the same region, gender differences in prepubertal children were generally small. However, higher concentrations of C16–C18 FAs for girls compared to boys correlated to higher concentrations of triglycerides (TG) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles and larger average size of VLDL particles. Concentrations of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and its subclass of medium particle size were higher in boys than in girls. These findings are opposite to observations in adults from the same region, but reflect that prepubertal boys are more physically active than girls. Furthermore, children possessed only half the serum levels of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid measured in adults. Since sampling was done after 12 h of fasting, these differences may reflect higher rate of utilization of these crucial FAs in children.Conclusion
Good predictive models were obtained for TGs, VLDL and chylomicrons with C14–C18 FAs as major contributors. Weak predictive associations were observed for HDL and Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) with C20–C24 FAs as contributors.14.

Introduction
Collecting feces is easy. It offers direct outcome to endogenous and microbial metabolites.Objectives
In a context of lack of consensus about fecal sample preparation, especially in animal species, we developed a robust protocol allowing untargeted LC-HRMS fingerprinting.Methods
The conditions of extraction (quantity, preparation, solvents, dilutions) were investigated in bovine feces.Results
A rapid and simple protocol involving feces extraction with methanol (1/3, M/V) followed by centrifugation and a step filtration (10 kDa) was developed.Conclusion
The workflow generated repeatable and informative fingerprints for robust metabolome characterization.15.

Introduction
Endurance races have been associated with a substantial amount of adverse effects which could lead to chronic disease and long-term performance impairment. However, little is known about the holistic metabolic changes occurring within the serum metabolome of athletes after the completion of a marathon.Objectives
Considering this, the aim of this study was to better characterize the acute metabolic changes induced by a marathon.Methods
Using an untargeted two dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry metabolomics approach, pre- and post-marathon serum samples of 31 athletes were analyzed and compared to identify those metabolites varying the most after the marathon perturbation.Results
Principle component analysis of the comparative groups indicated natural differentiation due to variation in the total metabolite profiles. Elevated concentrations of carbohydrates, fatty acids, tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, ketones and reduced concentrations of amino acids indicated a metabolic shift between various fuel substrate systems. Additionally, elevated odd-chain fatty acids and α-hydroxy acids indicated the utilization of α-oxidation and autophagy as alternative energy-producing mechanisms. Adaptations in gut microbe-associated markers were also observed and correlated with the metabolic flexibility of the athlete.Conclusion
From these results it is evident that a marathon places immense strain on the energy-producing pathways of the athlete, leading to extensive protein degradation, oxidative stress, mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 inhibition and autophagy. A better understanding of this metabolic shift could provide new insights for optimizing athletic performance, developing more efficient nutrition regimens and identify strategies to improve recovery.16.

Introduction
Cinnamon exerts insulin-enhancing activity in vitro and was demonstrated to improve blood glucose and lipid profiles in several human studies. Such effects may have an impact on metabolically stressed cows.Objective
To study the effects of cinnamon supplementation during the transition from late pregnancy to early lactation on the metabolism in dairy cows.Methods
Twenty-four Holstein cows (n?=?8/group) were assigned to either the control group (CTR; without supplementation) or the supplementation groups [supplemental cinnamon at 20 (LCIN) or 40 (HCIN) g/cow per day (d)] from 28 d before calving until 21 d thereafter. Blood samples were assayed for glucose, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), and insulin; an index estimating insulin sensitivity (RQUICKI) was calculated. The serum metabolome was characterized in the samples collected from d 14 using a non-targeted approach.Results
The serum concentrations of glucose and insulin did not differ among groups and followed a similar pattern over time. The serum NEFA concentrations were greater in LCIN (d 2, 7, and 14) and HCIN (d 14) than in CTR. On d 14 and 21, LCIN and HCIN had greater serum BHBA concentrations than CTR cows. The top 10 metabolites identified with significantly higher levels in the supplemented than the CTR cows were related to fatty acid metabolism.Conclusion
The data suggest lipolytic and ketogenic effects of cinnamon supplementation in dairy cows during the transition from late gestation to early lactation. The fatty acid metabolites found elevated in the supplemented cows point towards impaired mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation.17.

Introduction
Physiological adaptations in the energy metabolism of dairy cows during the periparturient period are partly mediated by insulin resistance (IR), which may subsequently induce metabolic disorders postpartum. The molecular mechanisms underlying IR in dairy cows are largely unknown.Objective
This study aimed to find a novel insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying IR in dairy cows during the periparturient period by analyzing the effects of prepartal overfeeding on the lipidomic profiles in the liver and adipose tissue (AT).Methods
Sixteen cows were allocated to controlled-energy and high-energy feeding groups. Lipidomic profiling was conducted on liver and adipose tissue samples collected at 8 days prior to the predicted parturition, and 1 day (only AT) and 9 days after the actual parturition.Results
Five ceramides (Cers) were identified to be significantly increased by prepartal overfeeding in AT in the analysis of the variance between groups within time points. Principal component-linear discriminant analysis showed that lipidomic profiles between the feeding groups were mainly characterized by phosphatidylcholines (PC), phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), lysophophosphatidylcholines (LysoPC), and lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LysoPE) in the liver, and by Cer, PE, and phosphatidylinositols (PI) in AT. Lipid class levels indicated that prepartal overfeeding elevated the concentration of PE, PI, LysoPC, LysoPE, and sphingomyelin in the liver, and increased the concentration of Cer in AT during the periparturient period.Conclusion
Prepartal overfeeding significantly altered the concentrations of various sphingolipids, phospholipids, and lysophospholipids in the liver and AT of dairy cows during the periparturient period.18.
Background
In recent years the visualization of biomagnetic measurement data by so-called pseudo current density maps or Hosaka-Cohen (HC) transformations became popular.Methods
The physical basis of these intuitive maps is clarified by means of analytically solvable problems.Results
Examples in magnetocardiography, magnetoencephalography and magnetoneurography demonstrate the usefulness of this method.Conclusion
Hardware realizations of the HC-transformation and some similar transformations are discussed which could advantageously support cross-platform comparability of biomagnetic measurements.19.

Introduction
Zonisamide is a new-generation anticonvulsant antiepileptic drug metabolized primarily in the liver, with subsequent elimination via the renal route.Objectives
Our objective was to evaluate the utility of pharmacometabolomics in the detection of zonisamide metabolites that could be related to its disposition and therefore, to its efficacy and toxicity.Methods
This study was nested to a bioequivalence clinical trial with 28 healthy volunteers. Each participant received a single dose of zonisamide on two separate occasions (period 1 and period 2), with a washout period between them. Blood samples of zonisamide were obtained from all patients at baseline for each period, before volunteers were administered any medication, for metabolomics analysis.Results
After a Lasso regression was applied, age, height, branched-chain amino acids, steroids, triacylglycerols, diacyl glycerophosphoethanolamine, glycerophospholipids susceptible to methylation, phosphatidylcholines with 20:4 FA (arachidonic acid) and cholesterol ester and lysophosphatidylcholine were obtained in both periods.Conclusion
To our knowledge, this is the only research study to date that has attempted to link basal metabolomic status with pharmacokinetic parameters of zonisamide.20.
