“…Compared with intact or extracted tissues, urine and serum or plasma are the most commonly studied biofluids in clinical practice, because they are easily obtained and prepared [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. However, other specialized fluids could be used, including cerebrospinal fluid [ 40 , 41 ] or saliva [ 42 , 43 , 44 ] and even breath [ 45 , 46 ]. Dried blood (and other biofluids) spots samples (DBS) have also been investigated [ 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ] and were shown to be an interesting alternative to conventional liquid samples for generating metabolite profiles.…”
