Abstract

We approach here the problem of defining and estimating the nature of the metabolite-metabolite association network underlying the human individual metabolic phenotype in healthy subjects. We retrieved significant associations using an entropy-based approach and a multiplex network formalism. We defined a significantly over-represented network formed by biologically interpretable metabolite modules. The entropy of the individual metabolic phenotype is also introduced and discussed.
