Urinary metabonomics was applied in order to better understand metabolic changes between healthy and IBD children. Methods: 21 Pediatric patients with IBD (mean age 14.8 years, 8 males) were enrolled from the Pediatric Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinic over two years. Clinical and biological data were collected at baseline, 6, and 12 months. 27 healthy children (mean age 12.9 years, 16 males) were assessed at baseline. Urine samples were collected at each visit and subjected to 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Results: Using 1H NMR metabonomics, we determined that urine metabolic profiles of IBD children differ significantly from healthy controls. Metabolic differences include central energy metabolism, amino acid, and gut microbial metabolic pathways. The analysis described that combined urinary urea and phenylacetylglutamine\u2014two readouts of nitrogen metabolism\u2014may be relevant to monitor metabolic status in the course of disease. Conclusion: Non-invasive sampling of urine followed by metabonomic profiling can elucidate and monitor the metabolic status of children in relation to disease status. Further developments of omic-approaches in pediatric research might deliver novel nutritional and metabolic hypotheses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms17081310","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,11]],"date-time":"2016-08-11T10:29:29Z","timestamp":1470911369000},"page":"1310","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Urinary Metabolic Phenotyping Reveals Differences in the Metabolic Status of Healthy and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Children in Relation to Growth and Disease Activity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Francois-Pierre","family":"Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nestl\u00e9 Institute of Health Sciences, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Ezri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, University of Lausanne, 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ornella","family":"Cominetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nestl\u00e9 Institute of Health Sciences, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laeticia","family":"Da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nestl\u00e9 Institute of Health Sciences, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Kussmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nestl\u00e9 Institute of Health Sciences, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Philippe","family":"Godin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nestl\u00e9 Research Center, 1000 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Nydegger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, University of Lausanne, 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2104","DOI":"10.1097\/MIB.0000000000000116","article-title":"Systems biology approaches for inflammatory bowel disease: Emphasis on gut microbial metabolism","volume":"20","author":"Moco","year":"2014","journal-title":"Inflamm.
