Non-targeted metabolite profiling is a comprehensive analytical approach used to identify and quantify a wide array of metabolites in biological samples without prior knowledge of which metabolites will be present. This method is particularly important in assessing the complex biochemical changes induced by environmental toxins and pollutants, providing insights into the metabolic responses of organisms in toxicology and ecotoxicology studies.
congrats on reading the definition of non-targeted metabolite profiling. now let's actually learn it.
