metabolomischer

Metabolomischer is a German adjective meaning "metabolomic". It refers to something related to metabolomics, which is the scientific study of the small molecules and their transformations within a biological organism, cell, or system. These small molecules, known as metabolites, are the end products of cellular processes and are thus intimately involved in the functioning of the organism. The metabolome represents the complete collection of these metabolites at a given time.

Metabolomic research aims to identify and quantify all the metabolites present in a sample, providing a snapshot of the physiological state of the organism. This field utilizes various analytical techniques, such as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, to detect and measure these compounds. By analyzing the metabolome, scientists can gain insights into biological pathways, understand disease mechanisms, and identify biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis.

The term "metabolomischer" might appear in scientific literature or discussions in German, referring to metabolomic data, metabolomic analyses, or metabolomic approaches. For instance, a "metabolomischer Ansatz" would be a metabolomic approach to studying a biological question. Understanding this adjective is key to comprehending German-language research in the field of metabolomics.
