The present invention relates to the use of endogenous reference metabolites and a method for normalization of intensity data corresponding to amounts and/or concentrations of selected target metabolites in a biological sample of a mammalian subject, wherein said intensity data are obtained by a metabolomics analysis method with one or a plurality of endogenous reference metabolites, comprising carrying out at least one in vitro metabolomics analysis method of said selected target metabolites in said biological sample, simultaneously carrying out in the same sample a quantitative analysis of one or a plurality of endogenous reference metabolites or derivatives thereof, wherein said endogenous reference metabolites are such compounds in the biological sample which are present in the subject at an essentially constant level; and wherein said endogenous reference metabolites or derivatives thereof have a molecular mass less than 1500 Da.
本发明涉及内源参比代谢物的使用以及对哺乳动物受试者生物样本中选定目标代谢物的量和/或浓度对应的强度数据进行归一化的方法,其中所述强度数据是通过一种或多种内源参比代谢物的代谢组学分析方法获得的、包括对所述生物样本中的所述选定目标代谢物进行至少一种体外代谢组学分析方法,同时对同一样本中的一种或多种内源性参考代谢物或其衍生物进行定量分析,其中所述内源性参考代谢物是生物样本中的化合物,它们以基本恒定的水平存在于受试者体内;所述内源性参考代谢物或其衍生物的分子质量小于 1500 Da。
