Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing long-term haemodialysis exhibit low L-carnitine and elevated acylcarnitine concentrations. This study evaluated endogenous concentrations of an array of acylcarnitines (carbon chain length up to 18) in healthy individuals and ESRD patients receiving haemodialysis

Metabolomics is a rapidly emerging field of functional genomics research whose aim is the comprehensive analysis of low molecular weight metabolites in a biological sample. Capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-MS) represents a promising hyphenated microseparation platform in metabolomics, since a
