Cardiometabolic disease is a major public health concern although it is partly preventable and manageable with appropriate lifestyle changes. The term cardiometabolic disease refers to two groups of diseases with common risk factors: cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart attack and metabolic disorders such metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

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.
Alpha-aminoadipic acid – Metabolite of the month
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.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) – Metabolite of the month
NAD is best known as a master regulator of redox reactions, but it is also a substrate used by many enzymes to fine tune cell biology.
