Metabolomics in the quest of asthma biomarkers. Some of the main factors that affect metabolites are diet, lifestyle, genetics, clinical parameters, and gut microbiota. There is a close relationship between intestinal microbiota, serum metabolites, and immune cells. All these factors are also connected with asthma, their pharmacology treatment, and age.
