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.
Histamine – Metabolite of the month
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.
3 assets needed to excel at metabolomics data interpretation
Data interpretation is often overlooked in omics training. But without knowing how to make sense of our results in the broader biological context, we’ll struggle to pull out actionable insights from our data.The biological interpretation of metabolomics is a long but...
