What is key difference between metabolic footprinting and metabolic fingerprinting?

20 May 2025 1 6K Report

Does metabolic footprinting focus on extracellular metabolites, and metabolic fingerprinting focuses on intracellular metabolites? I have a confusion between these two terms.what is key difference between metabolic footprinting and metabolic fingerprinting?

Abdelhak Maghchiche

Metabolic footprinting analyzes extracellular metabolites secreted or consumed by cells, reflecting their interaction with the environment. Metabolic fingerprinting profiles intracellular metabolites to capture the internal metabolic state of cells or tissues.
