    This study investigates metabolic differences in serum and villous tissues of women with missed abortion compared to those with normal early pregnancies.

  • 2

    Key findings include upregulated amino acid metabolism in serum and disturbances in acylcarnitine metabolism in villous tissues of missed abortion patients.

  • 3

    Citrulline was the only metabolite consistently upregulated in both serum and villous tissues, indicating potential systemic metabolic disturbances.

  • 4

    The study utilized targeted metabolomics and mass spectrometry to profile metabolites, enhancing understanding of metabolic dysregulation in missed abortion.

  • 5

    Combined panels of top metabolites showed high discriminatory potential for missed abortion, offering insights for future diagnostic and preventive strategies.
