Lipidomics offers the possibility to explore this relationship. Our research utilized LC\/MS-based nontargeted lipidomics to investigate the lipid profile changes as-sociated with sarcopenia, aiming to enhance understanding of its underlying mechanisms. The study included 40 sarcopenia patients and 40 control subjects matched 1:1 by sex and age. Plasma lipids were detected and quantified, with differential lipids identified through univariate and mul-tivariate statistical analyses. A weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and MetaboAna-lyst were used to identify lipid modules related to the clinical traits of sarcopenia patients and to conduct pathway analysis, respectively. A total of 34 lipid subclasses and 1446 lipid molecules were detected. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) identified 80 differen-tial lipid molecules, including 38 phospholipids. Network analysis revealed that the brown module (encompassing phosphatidylglycerol (PG) lipids) and the yellow module (containing phosphati-dylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), and sphingomyelin (SM) lipids) were closely associated with the clinical traits such as maximum grip strength and skeletal muscle mass (SMI). Pathway analysis highlighted the potential role of the glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway in lipid me-tabolism within the context of sarcopenia. These findings suggest a correlation between sarcopenia and lipid metabolism disturbances, providing valuable insights into the disease\u2019s underlying mechanisms and indicating potential avenues for further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25168793","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]],"date-time":"2024-08-14T05:23:27Z","timestamp":1723613007000},"page":"8793","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["LC\/MS-Based Untargeted Lipidomics Reveals Lipid Signatures of Sarcopenia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Qianwen","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Statistics, School of Public Health, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhiwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Statistics, School of Public Health, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Panpan","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Statistics, School of Public Health, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xueqian","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Statistics, School of Public Health, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xueyi","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Statistics, School of Public Health, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Statistics, School of Public Health, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1856-0324","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lipeng","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Statistics, School of Public Health, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"213","DOI":"10.1097\/MCO.0b013e328352694f","article-title":"Malnutrition, fatigue, frailty, vulnerability, sarcopenia and cachexia: Overlap of clinical features","volume":"15","author":"Jeejeebhoy","year":"2012","journal-title":"Curr.
