Spousal associations of serum metabolomic profiles by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Abstract Phenotype-based assortative mating is well established in humans, with the potential for further convergence through a shared environment. To assess the correlation within infertile couples of physical, social, and behavioural characteristics and 155 circulating metabolic measures. Cross se...
