Association between metabolic profiles in urine and bone mineral density of pre- and postmenopausal Chinese women

Conclusions: Based on the GC–MS metabolomic platform, four typical pathological phases during the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis were described. Several differentiating metabolites and metabolic pathways were found to be closely related to the pathology of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Our results provided a solid foundation for further studies on early diagnosis and pathomechanistic evaluation.
