The Rising Role of Metabolomics in Clinical Trials
The integration of metabolomics into clinical trials is revolutionizing medical research by providing detailed insights into the biochemical changes associated with various diseases and treatments. Metabolomics, the comprehensive study of small molecules (metabolites) in biological samples, is increasingly being used to understand disease mechanisms, identify biomarkers, and evaluate therapeutic responses. A search in the most […]
Uncovering Biomarkers for Optimal Athletic Performance
Metabolomics, an emerging field that studies the metabolites within our bodies, is revolutionizing our understanding of how exercise affects our health and athletic performance by uncovering biomarkers to maximize our athletic performance. One of the main analytical platforms used in metabolomics is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which provides a comprehensive view of how physical exercise […]
Cardiovascular Risk in Lupus Patients through NMR
Lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease, is closely associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases, one of the main causes of mortality in these patients. Chronic inflammation and the autoimmune response that characterize lupus not only damage joints and skin but can also significantly affect the cardiovascular system. It accelerates the process of atherosclerosis and […]
Unveiling the Mysteries of Lipoprotein Complexity in Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Risk
Recent findings published in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation by Montse Guardiola (1 2 3), Pere Rehues (1 2 3), Núria Amigó (2 3 4 5), Francisco Arrieta (6), Manuel Botana (7), José A Gimeno-Orna (8), Josefa Girona (1 2 3), José Ignacio Martínez-Montoro (9 10), Emilio Ortega (11 12 13), Antonio Pérez-Pérez (3 […]
NMR: A Look into the Future for Biomedical Research
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been a key tool in biomedical research and the study of metabolism and metabolic processes for nearly half a century. With its ability to perform metabolic studies, metabolic profiling, and metabolomics in biofluids and tissues, NMR has established itself as one of the most reliable and versatile techniques in the […]

Neurodegenerative Diseases: Metabolomics to Reveal Biomarkers for Early Diagnosis
On World Parkinson’s Day, it is essential to highlight not only the challenges faced by those diagnosed with this neurodegenerative disease but also to celebrate the scientific advances that open new avenues for early diagnosis and treatment. Among these advances, metabolomics emerges as a promising frontier. It offers a unique window into the inner workings […]
Liposcale Test: Use Cases
Chronic heart failure affects millions of people worldwide, representing one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in modern societies. Traditionally, the treatment and management of this condition have focused on improving symptoms and the quality of life of patients. However, recent advances in medical research are opening new avenues to address the underlying […]
Understanding the Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Dyslipidemia and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction
The prevalence of obesity and its associated health risks, notably cardiovascular risk (CVD), is a global health concern. The interplay between obesity and cardiovascular diseases constitutes a complex health dilemma, with dyslipidemia acting as a pivotal contributor to the heightened cardiovascular risk observed in obese individuals. Dyslipidemia, characterized by an adverse lipid profile that typically […]
