Although several diagnostic criteria have been established, none of them is specific and there is a call for better pathophysiological explanation of MetS and for the discovery of molecular biomarkers. Phenotype characterization at metabolome level might be useful for both purposes. To this end, our aim was to perform comparative untargeted metabolomics of urines from MetS patients and from the control group. The study participants included 52 diagnosticated and 50 healthy individuals from Leon city in central Mexico; 23 anthropometric and clinical parameters were measured and submitted to Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The obtained PCA model allowed us for selection of 11 MetS patients and 13 control subjects, correspondingly representative for each of the two groups (clearly separated in PCA). The first morning urines from these subjects were ambulatory collected and, after methanol extraction and acidification, were submitted to capillary liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). The obtained data were analyzed on MetaboScape\u00ae platform (Bruker Daltonics). Specifically, t-test applied to LC-HRMS data revealed several ions presenting at least 3-fold higher intensities in MetS with respect to the control samples (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Data analysis and complementary experiments yielded the identification of the following metabolites: indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-acetic acid-O-glucuronide, N-(indol-3-ylacetyl) glutamine, indole-3-carbaldehyde and hydroxyhexanoycarnitine. Additionally, indole-3-carboxylic acid was annotated with 2.13-fold higher abundance in MetS patients. To assess the contribution of individual metabolites in the difference between two groups of subjects, partial least square discriminant analysis was performed for LC-HRMS data and the obtained values of variable importance in projection (VIP), confirmed the association of six above mentioned compounds with MetS. Overall, this study provides direct evidence on the disturbed catabolism of tryptophan in metabolic syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1469066720964632","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,9]],"date-time":"2020-10-09T01:35:32Z","timestamp":1602207332000},"page":"379-387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Liquid
