This present study is a NMR-based metabolomics approaches coupled with orthogonal projection to least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) to evaluate the ability to characterize the metabolic fingerprint of fecal extracts from patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) on larger patient cohorts. The most significant metabolites for classification include short-chain fatty acids, alanine, isoleucine, leucine, valine, glutamate, glycerol, suggesting changes in the gut microbial community or malabsorption. These results shows the valuable potential of NMR-based metabonomics of fecal extracts to characterize the systemic metabolic disturbances underlying CRC and to identify possible early biomarkers for clinical prognosis.
