Abstract
The small molecule profiles of cells are compared to identify small molecules which are modulated in altered states. Cellular small molecule libraries, methods of identifying tissue sources, methods for treating genetic and non-genetic diseases, and methods for predicting the efficacy of drugs are also discussed.
Claims11
A method for identifying small molecules relevant to schizophrenia, comprising:
- obtaining a small molecule profile of a subject suffering from schizophrenia;
- and
- comparing the small molecule profile to a standard small molecule profile;
- thereby identifying the small molecules relevant to schizophrenia.
1 more element
A method for metabolomically monitoring the progression of schizophrenia in a subject comprising:
- obtaining a small molecule profile of a sample from a subject suffering from schizophrenia;
- and
- monitoring changes in the small molecule profile of the subject over time, thereby monitoring the progression of the disease.
