NOTOC
The lipidome refers to the totality of lipids in cells. Lipids are one of the four major molecular components of biological organisms, along with proteins, sugars and nucleic acids. Lipidome is a term coined in the context of omics in modern biology, within the field of lipidomics. It can be studied using mass spectrometry and bioinformatics as well as traditional lab-based methods. The lipidome of a cell can be subdivided into the membrane-lipidome and mediator-lipidome.
The first cell lipidome to be published was that of a mouse macrophage in 2010. The lipidome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been characterised with an estimated 95% coverage; studies of the human lipidome are ongoing. For example, the human plasma lipidome consist of almost 600 distinct molecular species. Research suggests that the lipidome of an individual may be able to indicate cancer risks associated with dietary fats, particularly breast cancer.

The metabolome refers to the complete set of small-molecule chemicals found within a biological sample. The biological sample can be a cell, a cellular organelle, an organ, a tissue, a tissue extract, a biofluid or an entire organism. The small molecule chemicals found in a given metabolome may include both endogenous metabolites that are naturally produced by an organism (such as amino acids, organic acids, nucleic acids, fatty acids, amines, sugars, vitamins, co-factors, pigments, antibiotics, etc.

La métabolomique est une science très récente qui étudie l'ensemble des métabolites primaires (sucres, acides aminés, acides gras) et des métabolites secondaires dans le cas des plantes (polyphénols, flavonoïdes, alcaloïdes) présents dans une cellule, un organe ou un organisme. C'est l'équivalent de la génomique pour l'ADN. Elle utilise la spectrométrie de masse et la résonance magnétique nucléaire. Médecine : selon des chercheurs de la Harvard Medical School, les taux sanguins de cinq acides aminés (isoleucine, leucine, valine, tyrosine et phénylalanine) aideraient à prédire le risque de diabète.
