Fasting plasma metabolomic profiles are altered by three days of standardized diet and restricted physical activity

摘要

Few studies have examined the effects of participants’ diet and activity prior to sample collection on metabolomics profiles, and results have been conflicting. We compared the effects of overnight fasting with or without 3 days of standardized diet and restricted physical activity on the human blood metabolome, and examined the effects of these protocols on our ability to detect differences in metabolomics profiles in adolescent girls with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) vs. sex and BMI-matched controls.
