Abstract

Metabolomics is the most novel of the omic sciences, which is responsible for the study and comparison of metabolites. In this study, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOFMS) were used for the identification of metabolites found in the blood, which, throw their results in CDF files for further analysis. Metabolic profiles of healthy patients were analyzed using multivariate data analysis techniques, which showed clear differences between the metabolites found, and compared with the universal Golm Metabolome Database (GMD), allowing them to be identified with a high percentage of coincidence. The results found reinforce the advantages of GCxGC-TOFMS and the role of metabolomics in the characterization of metabolites useful for different areas of biology.
