Abstract:

Metabolomics is a technology which understands the changes of all endogenous metabolites in the organism at a certain time through comprehensive and quantitative detection of endogenous small molecular compounds in the biological system, screening out significant biomarkers, and providing new ideas for early prediction, diagnosis and exploration of pathogenesis of diseases. Missed abortion is a common gynecological disease, and its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. At present, metabonomics technology has been applied to the study of missed abortion, and biomarkers that may be associated with missed abortion have been found, involving a variety of pathways such as tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative stress and signal transduction, making a breakthrough. This article briefly introduces the metabonomics technology and its application in the study of missed abortion, and to further discusses the explore of differential metabolites in serum and changes in related metabolic pathways on missed abortion.
