Things tested included (these were the markers tested)...
fatty acid metabolism (adipate, suberate, ethylmalonate)
Carbohydrate metabolism (pyruvate, lactate, beta-hydroxybutyrate)
Energy production (citrate, cis-aconitate, isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, fumurate, malate, hydroxymethylglutarate)
B-complex vitamin markers (alpha ketoisovalerate, alpha-ketoisocaproate, alpha-keto-beta-methylvalerate, xanthurenate, beta-hydroxyisovalerate)
Methylation cofactor markers (methylmalonate, formiminoglutamate)
Neurotransmitter metablosm markers (vanilmandelate, homovanillate, 5-hydroxyindolacetate, kynurenate, quinolinate)
Oxidative damage and antioxidant markers (p-hydroxyphenyllacetate, 8-Hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine)
Detoxifucation Indicators
(2 methylhippurate, orotate, glucarate, alpha-hydroxybutarate, pyroglutamate, sulfate)
Bacterial-general (benzoate, hippurate, p[henylacetate, phenulpropionate, p-hydroxyphenylbenzoate, p-hydroxyphenylacetate, indican, tricarballate)
L.acidophilus/general bacterial (D-lactate)
Clostridial species (dihydroxypenylproionate)
Yeast/fungal (D-Arabinitol)Kinda interesting that you can get your citric acid cycle tested.
