Sintesi	Network-based metabolomics analysis integrates quantitative metabolite profiling data with biological network structures — metabolic pathways, protein-metabolite interaction graphs, and disease networks — to reveal coordinated biochemical disruptions that individual metabolite lists would miss. Rather than treating each metabolite in isolation, this systems-level approach identifies modules, hubs, and perturbed subnetworks, providing mechanistic insight into how metabolic dysregulation propagates through cellular systems.	Bayesian metabolomics analysis applies probabilistic inference to metabolite abundance data — typically from mass spectrometry or NMR spectroscopy — to identify differentially abundant metabolites, annotate spectral features, and integrate pathway knowledge. By encoding prior biological knowledge into prior distributions and propagating uncertainty throughout the analysis, it yields more calibrated probability statements about metabolic differences than classical frequentist testing alone.
