Metabolomics in Personalized Nutrition: Identifying Biomarkers for Dietary Interventions

Abstract

Author(s):

Metabolomics has emerged as a pivotal tool in the realm of personalized nutrition, facilitating the identification of biomarkers that elucidate individual responses to dietary interventions. This review explores recent advancements in metabolomics technology and its application in deciphering metabolic signatures influenced by diet. By analyzing small molecule metabolites in biofluids and tissues, metabolomics enables precise characterization of biochemical pathways affected by dietary components. Key biomarkers identified through metabolomic profiling offer insights into metabolic phenotypes, aiding in the formulation of tailored dietary recommendations. Furthermore, integrative approaches combining metabolomics with genomic and microbiome data enhance our understanding of personalized nutrition strategies. This abstract underscores the transformative potential of metabolomics in revolutionizing dietary guidance, paving the way towards optimized health outcomes through personalized nutrition interventions.
