Differences in how blood chemicals relate to fat storage in men and women could help create better tools for diagnosing obesity.
Scientific Claim
Exploratory associations between metabolite profiles and body fat distribution may inform future metabolomics-based diagnostics for obesity when considering gender differences.
Original Statement
“These findings collectively highlight the potential of metabolomics in obesity and that gender differences need to be taken into account for novel biomarker and diagnostic discovery for obesity and metabolic disorders.”
