It is believed that allergy will develop by the combination of genetic factors and environmental factors; for the latter, attention has been focused on the importance of metabolites and biologically active substances produced by intestinal microbiota, as well as in breast milk . In this study, we aim to identify potential biomarkers for allergy-developing/aggravating factors, with particular emphasis on the lipids. by high-precision and cyclopedic omics analysis of metabolites and physiological active substances in breast milk and intestinal microbiota.
