Motivation: High-throughput omics methods increasingly result in large datasets including metabolomics data, which are often difficult to analyse.
Results: To help researchers to handle and analyse those datasets by mapping and investigating metabolomics data of multiple sampling conditions (e.g. different time points or treatments) in the context of pathways, PathwayNexus has been developed, which presents the mapping results in a matrix format, allowing users to easily observe the relations between the compounds and the pathways. It also offers functionalities like ranking, sorting, clustering, pathway views, and further analytical tools. Its primary objective is to condense large sets of pathways into smaller, more relevant subsets that align with the specific interests of the user.
Availability And Implementation: The methodology presented here is implemented in PathwayNexus, an open-source add-on for Vanted available at www.cls.uni-konstanz.de/software/pathway-nexus.

Urinary Metabolite Profiles of Participants with Overweight and Obesity Prescribed a Weight Loss High Fruit and Vegetable Diet: A Single Arm Intervention Study.
Nutrients

School of Health Sciences, College of Health, Medicine and Wellbeing, The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW 2308, Australia.
Background/objectives: Thus far, no studies have examined the relationship between fruit and vegetable (F and V) intake, urinary metabolite quantities, and weight change. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to explore changes in urinary metabolomic profiles during and after a 10-week weight loss intervention where participants were prescribed a high F and V diet (7 servings daily).
Methods: Adults with overweight and obesity ( = 34) received medical nutrition therapy counselling to increase their F and V intakes to national targets (7 servings a day).

Machine learning and artificial intelligence tools were used to investigate the discriminatory potential of blood serum metabolites for thromboembolism and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). H-NMR-based metabonomics data of the serum samples of patients with arterial or venous thromboembolism (VTE) without APS (n = 32), thrombotic primary APS patients (APS, n = 32), and healthy controls (HCs) (n = 32) were investigated. Unique metabolic profiles between VTE and HCs, APS and HCs, and between VTE and triple-positive APS groups were indicative of the significant alterations in the metabolic pathways of glycolysis, the TCA cycle, lipid metabolism, and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism, and pointed to the complex pathogenesis mechanisms of APS and VTE.
