“…The metabolomic signatures published to date showed a wide variety of quantitative metabolite traits related to arterial hypertension such as amino acids (alanine, serine, glycine, methionine, arginine, tyrosine and isoleucine), nucleotide bases (adenine and uracil), hormones (epiandrosterone sulfate, 5 α-androstan-3β-diol disulfate, androsterone sulfate, melatonin, cortolone, dihydroxyphenylglycol, and hydroxyandrosterone), organic acids (hippurate, pyruvate, hexadecanedioate, formate, methyl nicotinate, dicarboxylic acids, butyrate and fumarate, lactate, malate and pyruvate), and hexoses [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . A variety of lipids were also reported to be quantitatively modified in hypertension, such as phosphatidylcholines, ceramides, phosphatidylinositols, diacylglycerols, and fatty acids 14,16,18,19 . Changes in these signatures under the influence of dietary interventions in hypertensive patients (proline-betaine, carnitine, hippurate, cresyl sulfate, phenylacetylglutamine, N-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxyamide, methionine sulfone, and β-hydroxyisovalerate) 20,21 or under various antihypertensive therapies (acylcarnitines, hexadecanedioate uric acid, lysophosphatidylcholines, triacylglycerols, and cholesterol esters) have also been reported [22][23][24] .…”
