Mass Distribution of Compounds in the Human Metabolome • Metabolome • natively biosynthesized • monomeric • Complex metabolites • Xenobiome Number of cmpds per 20 daltons Mass
Metabolomics is: • Precise in Nomenclature & Role • Quantitative & Statistically Approachable • Pharmaceutically Relevant • Less Complex • “Integromics”

Orthomolecular medicine ‘Orthomolecular diagnosis is the process of determining the concentration of various substances in the body. Most of our experiments on orthomolecular diagnosis have involved the use of gas-liquid chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, or mass spectrometry. In this paper we discuss the approach to this problem that we have developed during the past five years.’ Clin. Chem. 20, 961 - 965 (1974).
