  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mediterranean Diet

Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Abstract

The metabolome has been defined as the sum of all low molecular weight metabolites or chemicals present in a cell, organ, tissue, biological fluid, or organism. Metabolic profiling (metabolomics/metabonomics) experiments are typically conducted using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to either liquid chromatography (LC) or gas chromatography (GC).
