Title: Chapter 11 Metabolomics in the Analysis of Inflammatory Diseases
Description: Most infections and traumatic injuries are cleared or repaired relatively rapidly and metabolic homoeostasis is soon restored. However, there is a broad range of inflammatory
diseases which involve chronic activation of the immune system and, as a result, chronic
persistent inflammation. We have been studying the metabolic consequences of chronic
inflammatory diseases with the aim of identifying metabolic fingerprints which may
provide clues about why the localised tissue disease persists.
