Analysis of metabolic pathways as a  novel clinical biomarkers of endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease and causes infertility. The discovery of biomarkers has been demonstrated to play an important role in medicine and diagnosing the patient. Metabolomics and metabolic profiling have become popular in many research projects and discovery novel biomarkers. Till now, little is known about the association of metabolic pathways and endometriosis. We investigate the seven metabolic pathways in endometriosis, including alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP-1), Hemopexin, Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), Transferrin, Transthyretin and Vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP).
