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.	Multi-omics metabolomics analysis integrates metabolite profiling data — derived from mass spectrometry or NMR spectroscopy — with genomic, transcriptomic, and/or proteomic datasets to build a system-level view of biological phenotypes. By anchoring integration on the metabolome, which reflects the downstream functional output of gene expression and protein activity, this approach connects upstream molecular variation to observable biochemical states, enabling richer mechanistic insight than any single omics layer alone.
