From: Untargeted LC-HRMS-based metabolomics to identify novel biomarkers of metastatic colorectal cancer
Representative LC-HRMS TIC of the serum sample from a healthy control (HC: black) and patient with CRC (CRC: red). There is a clear separation among: medium-polar metabolites, such as phospholipids, endocannabinoids, or steroids (6–14 min); very polar metabolites, including some amino acids or sugars (1–5 min); and non-polar metabolites. A significant difference between HC and CRC TICs can be observed at 8–15 minutes, when most lipids elute.
