Melatonin – Metabolite of the month
Our metabolite of the month melatonin is an ancient molecule found in all living organisms from bacteria to humans, with an evolution that can be traced back 2.5 billion years.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) – Metabolite of the month
In our metabolite of the month series, our scientists look at one specific metabolite each month. Topics of discussion include the biosynthesis and degradation in a broader health context, and the effect of dysregulation. In this month´s article, they took a closer look at sphingosine-1-phosphate.
Metabolite of the month – Arginine
In our metabolite of the month series, our scientists look at one specific metabolite each month. Topics of discussion include the biosynthesis and degradation in a broader health context, and the effect of dysregulation. In this month´s article, they took a closer look at Arginine.
Metabolite of the month – Deoxycholic acid
Our metabolite of the month DCA is a secondary bile acid product. Interest in DCA was revived in the 1940s, when it was identified as a precursor for the synthesis of corticosteroids
Metabolite of the month – Alpha-aminoadipic acid
Aminoadipic acid is an alpha amino acid, meaning its amino group is attached to the carbon atom in the alpha position. It’s a nonproteinogenic amino acid found in all eukaryotes.
Metabolite of the month – Aminobutyric acids
Alpha-, beta- and gamma-aminobutyric acids (AABA, BABA and GABA) are a group of structurally similar nonproteinogenic amino acids.
Metabolite of the month – Histamine
Histamine stimulates smooth muscle contraction, vasodilation, and gastric acid secretion, and plays a role in cell differentiation, proliferation and regeneration
Metabolite of the month – Glycine
Glycine plays a role in metabolic regulation, neurological function, anti-oxidative reactions and protein synthesis. It offers multiple health benefits that may help to treat diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation and obesity.
Metabolite of the month – Ornithine
Our metabolite of the month is Ornithine, a non-essential, non-proteinogenic amino acid that plays an essential role in the urea cycle.
