Metabolomics activity screening of T cell–induced colitis reveals anti-inflammatory metabolites

Untargeted metabolomics of disease-associated intestinal microbiota can detect quantitative changes in metabolite profiles and complement other methodologies to reveal the full effect of intestinal dysbiosis. Here, we used the T cell transfer mouse model of colitis to identify small-molecule metabolites with altered abundance due to intestinal inflammation. We applied untargeted metabolomics to detect metabolite signatures in cecal, colonic, and...
