Abstract: This disclosure provides methods for the creation of a quantitative database of metabolites, particularly lipid metabolites, using chromatographic technology; methods for assembling that information into a visual format for interpretation, and methods of this information to identify and understand metabolome-wide effects, for instance those effects influenced by pharmaceuticals, genes, toxins, diet or the environment. Also provided are metabolite databases, such as lipid metabolite databases, that are stored on a computer readable medium, which include quantitative measurements of a plurality of metabolites.

Abstract: Described herein in various embodiments are methods for using quantitative and/or comparative lipid metabolite data, particularly for identifying and interpreting individual metabolomic profiles as indicative of metabolic status. The provided methods, for instance, allow analysis of the likelihood or progression of weight gain or weight loss, growth or wasting, obesity, diabetes, and aging in an individual based on measurements of the measurement of the quantity of one or more lipid biomarkers, profiles of such markers, or ratios of such markers.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of using certain metabolite markers for predicting weight development or its related conditions of a subject. The present invention also provides compositions and kits useful for detecting metabolite markers of the present invention.
