Our Parkinson's Place: Metabolomics applications for precision nutrition, formula, and neurodegenerative disorders

I HAVE PARKINSON'S DISEASES AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE THE CONTENTS OF UPDATED NEWS IS FOUND IN ONE PLACE. THAT IS WHY I BEGAN THIS BLOG.

I COPY NEWS ARTICLES PERTAINING TO RESEARCH, NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE, DEMENTIA, THE BRAIN, DEPRESSION AND PARKINSON'S WITH DYSTONIA. I ALSO POST ABOUT FUNDRAISING FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND EVENTS. I TRY TO BE UP-TO-DATE AS POSSIBLE.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT'S CONTENTS. I AM JUST A COPIER OF INFORMATION SEARCHED ON THE COMPUTER. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE COPIES ARE JUST THAT, COPIES AND AT TIMES, I AM UNABLE TO ENLARGE THE WORDING OR KEEP IT UNIFORMED AS I WISH. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND I AM A PERSON WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. I HAVE NO MEDICAL EDUCATION,

I JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. IT IS UP TO YOU TO DECIDE WHETHER TO READ IT AND TALK IT OVER WITH YOUR DOCTOR. I AM JUST THE COPIER OF DOCUMENTS FROM THE COMPUTER. I DO NOT HAVE PROOF OF FACT OR FICTION OF THE ARTICLE. I ALSO TRY TO PLACE A LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH ARTICLE TO SHOW WHERE I RECEIVED THE INFORMATION SO THAT YOU MAY WANT TO VISIT THEIR SITE.

THIS IS FOR YOU TO READ AND TO ALWAYS KEEP AN OPEN MIND.

PLEASE DISCUSS THIS WITH YOUR DOCTOR, SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR CONCERNS. NEVER DO ANYTHING WITHOUT TALKING TO YOUR DOCTOR FIRST..

I DO NOT MAKE ANY MONEY FROM THIS WEBSITE. I VOLUNTEER MY TIME TO HELP ALL OF US TO BE INFORMED.

I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY ADVERTISEMENT OR HEALING POWERS, HEALING FROM HERBS AND ETC. UNLESS IT HAS GONE THROUGH TRIALS AND APPROVED BY FDA. IT WILL GO INTO SPAM.

THIS IS A FREE SITE FOR ALL WITH NO ADVERTISEMENTS

THANK YOU FOR VISITING! TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Metabolomics applications for precision nutrition, formula, and neurodegenerative disorders

Metabolomics is the latest omics systems science technology with emerging applications towards psychiatry, personalized medicine, and most recently, precision nutrition research. Infant formula, for example, is manufactured to match the molecular composition of human milk. A new study reporting on the comparative lipid profiles of infant formulas and human milk using metabolomics is published in OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology.

In the article "Toward Precision Nutrition: Commercial Infant Formulas and Human Milk Compared for Stereospecific Distribution of Fatty Acids Using Metabolomics," Glaucia B. Alcantara, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (Campo Grande, Brazil) and coauthors present new findings on the lipid profiles of several commercially available infant formulas and compare them with human milk. The authors note that the observations can inform optimal design of infant formulas with a view to precision nutrition, and to better approximate the distribution of fatty acids naturally found in human milk, thus contributing to the better nutrition of newborns.

Attesting to the growing importance of metabolomics in medical research, "Metabolic Biomarkers and Neurodegeneration: A Pathway Enrichment Analysis of Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis," an article coauthored by Dilek Kazan, Marmara University (Istanbul, Turkey), examined neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease using data on metabolite-disease associations published over a decade (2006-2016).

A strategic roadmap article on metabolomics and multi-omics science in psychiatry "Toward a Global Roadmap for Precision Medicine in Psychiatry: Challenges and Opportunities" coauthored by Shareefa Dalvie (University of Cape Town, South Africa) has been featured as part of a two-volume special issue on Precision medicine 2.0 edited by Collet Dandara (University of Cape Town) chronicling the past, present and futures of new omics technology innovations in global health.

Access Volume II: https://www.liebertpub.com/toc/omi/20/10

These articles and special issues highlighting the emerging and recent applications of metabolomics and omics systems sciences in precision nutrition and precision medicine are available free on the OMICS website until September 2, 2018.

"Metabolomics and multi-omics integration with genomics, proteomics and other systems science technologies bring about new insights," says Vural Özdemir, MD, Ph.D., DABCP, Editor-in-Chief of OMICS, "most notably for preventive medicine, precision nutrition and global health, disease susceptibility, and mechanisms of person-to-person variations in response to food, drugs, vaccines, and other health interventions. Each new omics technology is also an opportunity to think about responsible innovation, and the broad societal contexts in which scientific innovations emerge."
