Description of HMGU The Helmholtz Zentrum München, National Research Center for
Environmental Health (HMGU), is a federally funded research center
located in Neuherberg/Munich, Germany. Multidisciplinary research
of the HMGU is focused on activities related to the protection of
man and his environment as well as the utilisation of scientific and
technical knowledge to improve health care.
Genome Analysis Center and Institute for Bioinformatics and
Systems Biology (IBIS) jointly support participating laboratory
(metaP, for Metabolomic Platform). It comprises experts in the
biochemical, analytical and bioinformatics fields. The targeted
quantitative metabomic profiling (FDA-validated kit) is based on the
pioneering work by BIOCRATES Life Sciences (www.biocrates.at).
We are equipped with state-of-the-art liquid handling and extraction
robotics (Hamilton Microlab Star) and a high performance mass
spectrometry instruments (API 4000 Q-Trap). Access to versatile

Abbreviations used for metabolites sugars Hn for nhexose, dH for desoxyhexose UA for uronic acid HNAc for N-acetylglucosamine acylcarnitines (Cx:y, where x denotes the number of carbons in the side chain and y the number of double bonds) sphingomyelins (SMx:y) sphingomyelin derivatives, such as N- hydroxyldicarboacyloylsphingosyl-phosphocholine (SM(OH,COOH)x:y) and N- hydroxylacyloylsphingosyl-phosphocholine (SM (OH)x:y) Glycerophospholipids are further differentiated with respect to the presence of ester (a) and ether (e) bonds in the glycerol moiety, where two letters (aa, ea, or ee) denote that the first as well as the second position of the glycerol unit are bound to a fatty acid residue, while a single letter (a or e) indicates a bond with only one fatty acid residue. E.g. PC_ea_33:1 denotes a plasmalogen phosphatidylcholine with 33 carbons in the two fatty acid side chains and a single double bond in one of them. glycero-phosphatidic acids (PA), glycero-phosphatidylcholines (PC), glycero-phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), phosphatidylglycerols (PG), glycero-phosphatidylinositols (PI) glycerophosphatidylinositol-bisphosphate (PIP2) and - triphosphate (PIP3) glycerophosphatidylserines (PS).
