Abstract:
1. A method of detecting, prognosing, or monitoring a disease, disorder, or condition in one or more tissues or individuals, comprising: a) measuring relative molecular flux rates of two or more biological molecules independently selected from the group consisting of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, peptides, amino acids, and nucleic acids in a first population of one or more tissues or individuals, wherein said first population comprises tissues or individuals lacking said disease, disorder, or condition, said measuring in said first population comprising: b) measuring relative molecular flux rates of two or more biological molecules in a second population of one or more tissues or individuals, wherein the two or more biological molecules are independently selected from the group consisting of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, peptides, amino acids, and nucleic acids and include the two or more biological molecule types of step a), wherein said second population comprises tissues or individuals having or lacking said disease, disorder, of condition, said measuring in said second population comprising: c) determining a difference between the relative molecular flux rates in said first and said second populations to detect, prognose, or monitor said disease, disorder, or condition.
