There is considerable information available about biomarkers of metabolic disorders. The use of some of these biomarkers is well established. Coverage of all metabolic disorders is beyond the scope of this report. Example of acute intermittent porphyria, liver X receptors, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome will be discussed in this section.
