摘要	Time-series metabolomics analysis profiles small-molecule metabolites from biological samples collected at multiple, ordered time points, enabling researchers to capture the dynamic flux of metabolic pathways in response to stimuli, disease progression, drug treatment, or developmental change. By integrating longitudinal statistical models with standard metabolomics preprocessing, the approach goes beyond a static metabolic snapshot to reveal how, when, and in what sequence metabolic responses unfold.	Pathway enrichment analysis (PEA) is a statistical approach that takes a list of genes or proteins of interest — typically derived from a differential expression or proteomics experiment — and identifies which pre-defined biological pathways or functional gene sets are represented more often than expected by chance. By mapping individual molecular changes onto curated pathway knowledge bases such as KEGG, Gene Ontology, or Reactome, PEA translates long gene lists into interpretable biological processes, making it a central tool in the post-analysis of high-throughput omics experiments.
