Serum Metabolomic Analysis of Healthy and Central Precocious Puberty Girls

Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)Published Case-control metabolomic study

Authors' conclusion

A total of 14 metabolites were identified through non-targeted metabolomics combined with four major metabolic network analyses. The above metabolites form a metabolic network that may serve as a novel marker and potential combined therapeutic target for the diagnosis of CPP.
