J. A. Rothman, H. L. Piccerillo, et al.

Explore how untargeted LC-MS metabolomics revealed intriguing links between the salivary metabolome of children and their caregivers, shedding light on inflammation, antioxidant potential, and exposure to heavy metals. This fascinating research conducted by Jason A. Rothman, Hillary L. Piccerillo, Sage J. B. Dunham, Jenna L. Riis, Douglas A. Granger, Elizabeth A. Thomas, and Katrine L. Whiteson highlights the impact of family environments on health.

Abstract
This study utilized untargeted LC-MS metabolomics on 1425 saliva samples from children and their caregivers to investigate the salivary metabolome and its associations with inflammation, antioxidant potential, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure, metabolic regulation, and heavy metals. Children and caregivers showed similar salivary metabolomes, with most metabolomic variation explained by dyad. Two distinct metabotypes were identified across the population. Several metabolites correlated with the biomeasures and heavy metals, suggesting implications for family environment effects on metabolomic variation and human health.
