Large-scale prospective serum metabolomic profiling reveals candidate predictive biomarkers for suspected preeclampsia patients by Yan Cao, Lanlan Meng, Yifei Wang, Shenglong Zhao, Yuanyuan Zheng, Rui Ran, Jie Du, Hongqiang Wu, Jiaqi Han, Zhengwen Xu, Yifan Lu, Lin Liu, Lu Chen, Jing Wang, Youran Li, Yanhong Zhai, Zhi Sun, Zheng Cao

“…Using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC − MS), serum metabolomic profiling revealed that the development of PE was closely associated with disturbed amino acid metabolism. Moreover, a panel of seven predictive biomarkers including 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-5-formylpyridine-4-carboxylate, gamma-glutamyl-leucine, 2-hydroxyvaleric acid, LysoPC(16:1(9Z)/0:0), PC(DiMe(13,5)/MonoMe(13,5)), ADP-D-glycero-beta-D-manno-heptose and phenylalanyl-tryptophan were identified for PE development by performing multiple statistical analysis and LASSO regression analysis. …”
