Gut metabolite profiles may provide insights into how NEC happens

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious disease mediated by an inflammatory process that leads to intestinal damage and sometimes death. It is rare in full term babies, but it occurs more often in preterm infants. The earlier before full term the infant is born, the higher the risk of developing the disease.
