The metabolic profiling of blood plasma sample for distinguishing prostate cancer (PCa) patients with positive biopsy (n=32) and negative biopsy (n=30) using NMR spectroscopy was investigated. A significantly higher concentration of lactate, choline, glucose and a lower concentration of histidine, tyrosine and phenylalanine were observed in blood plasma of PCa patients with positive biopsy as compared to negative biopsy. Our results suggest alterations in amino acid, energy, glucose and choline metabolisms, which may have association with disease progression.
