title: [Metabonomics in medical and pharmaceutical research].
abstract: Metabonomics is a new "-omics" science in post-gene time. Metabonomics can directly understand the physiological and biochemical situation by its "metabolome profile" as a whole, and therefore can provide various information that differs from other "-omics". Metabonomics has been applied in disease diagnosis, assessment of animal models, screening of new drugs, evaluation of drug safety, discovery of new bio-markers of toxicity, as well as research of traditional Chinese medicine.
