Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Metabolomics and lipidomics studies are important to understand living organisms at the molecular level. In this dissertation, I conducted various untargeted and targeted metabolomics and lipidomics studies using mass spectrometry based analytical platforms. Firstly, I investigated the androgen depletion effects on fecal metabolites in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus and metabolite biomarkers for colorectal cancer using two-dimensional gas and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Secondly, I investigated the relationship between gut microbiota-mediated resistance and susceptibility to malaria and the production of short-chain fatty acids using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Thirdly, I developed a high-throughput liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method to profile long-chain …
