The modified Adult Treatment Panel -III guidelines (ATP-III) proposed by American Heart Association (AHA) and National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) are used widely for the clinical diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome. The AHA-NHLBI criteria advise using parameters such as waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Each parameter has to be interpreted based on the proposed cut-offs, making the diagnosis slightly complex and error-prone. This package is developed by incorporating the modified ATP-III guidelines, and it will aid in the easy and quick diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in busy healthcare settings and also for research purposes. The modified ATP-III-AHA-NHLBI criteria for the diagnosis is described by Grundy et al ., (2005) <doi:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.105.169404>.

This package provides a set of functions to investigate raw data from (metabol)omics experiments intended to be used on a raw data matrix, i.e. following peak picking and signal deconvolution. Functions can be used to normalize data, detect biomarkers and perform sample classification. A detailed description of best practice usage may be found in the publication <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-7819-9_20>.

The package provides a comprehensive mapping table of nine different Metabolite ID formats and their common name. The data has been collected and merged from four publicly available source, including HMDB, Comptox Dashboard, ChEBI, and the graphite Bioconductor R package.

This package provides functions for interfacing with the Metabolomics Workbench RESTful API. Study, compound, protein and gene information can be searched for using the API. Methods to obtain study data in common Bioconductor formats such as SummarizedExperiment and MultiAssayExperiment are also included.
