Abstract:
Metabonomics is an emerging branch of science for the study of endogenous small molecule metabolites in organisms, which plays an important role in evaluatingthediagnosis and treatment of male infertility by exploring the metabolites of body fluids, cells and tissues. With its advantages ofmass information, noninvasiveness, and celerity, metabonomics will be widely applied to clinical researches in the future. This review introducesmetabonomics and its analytical techniques and data processing procedures,its latest application in the studies of the etiology, diagnosis and the treatment of male infertility, and the prospect of its future application in the researches of male reproduction.
