“…The role of metabolites in explaining network differences is more nuanced, and this probably reflects the large biochemical diversity of these molecules [106]. In diseases-specific networks, key differentiating metabolites are ketone bodies, BCAAs, threonine, and tyrosine (in women networks only), and alanine: this can reflect the association with particular diseases, such as type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus [91,[107][108][109][110], sarcopenia [69,71,72,111] and cognitive impairment [112,113]. Glutamine, glucose, proline, and BCAAs, increasing their metabolic activity, could be biomarkers to predict the emergence of neurodegenerative diseases [114], type 2 diabetes mellitus, and obesity conditions [91,108,109], and sarcopenia [69,71,72].…”
