Metabolic Profiling : Royal Society of Chemistry : 9781849731638 : 1849731632 : 18 Nov 2014 : 1. This book will describe the techniques of multivariate analysis to provide metabolic information about a patient. 2. Multivariate analysis can give important information about disease indicators and activity and pre-clinical biomarkers of the therapeutic and/or toxicological capacity of newly-developed drugs. 3. Medicinal chemists, biochemists, toxicologists, in academia and industry. 4. Issues In Toxicology, MedChemComm, Toxicology Research 5. These techniques serve as powerful tools for clinical and toxicological research, including drug development, early disease detection, and the stratification of patients into disease or treatment/treatment response sub-classes. Multivariate analysis of the multi-component analytical profiles of carefully collected biofluid and/or tissue biopsy specimens can provide a 'fingerprint' of their biomolecular or metabolic status. If applied correctly,
