Metabolomics and nutrient intake reveal metabolite–nutrient interactions in metabolic syndrome: insights from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study by Minyeong Kim, Suyeon Lee, Junguk Hur, Dayeon Shin

“…Notably, dysregulated metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, such as isoleucine and leucine, has been implicated in oxidative stress. Importantly, the stochastic gradient descent classifier achieved the best predictive performance among the eight machine learning models (area under the curve, AUC = 0.84), highlighting the robustness of classification based on metabolite data. …”
