Interpreting correlations in metabolomic networks

Biochem Soc Trans. 2003 Dec;31(Pt 6):1476-8. doi: 10.1042/bst0311476.

Abstract

Correlations, as observed between the concentrations of metabolites in a biological sample, may be used to gain additional information about the physiological state of a given tissue. In this mini-review, we discuss the integration of these observed correlations into metabolomic networks and their relationships with the underlying biochemical pathways.
