TL;DR: This study illustrated the high reliability of NMR-based metabonomic profiling on the study of the biochemical effects induced by the mixture of heavy metals.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the extent of fucosylation could be a useful marker for estimation of the glycosylation status of serum proteins in cancer patients and Cluster analysis leads to the preliminary suggestion that the fucOSylated status could serve as a predictive factor for patient survival.

TL;DR: Proteomic techniques in combination with appropriate statistical methods allow the selection of potential markers to estimate the changes in the human body when exposed to those heavy metals.

TL;DR: Comparison of haptoglobin and AGP glycosylation to that observed in total serum suggests that some efficient carriers of disease-altered glycoproteins still remain unidentified.

TL;DR: Serum protein profile analysis of people chronically exposed to heavy metals is conducted to find protein markers of early pathological changes that could serve as potential markers of preclinical changes in men working in copper foundry and age-matched non-exposed healthy men.
