Metabolite of the month
Metabolites are essential for life. They are the products of the chemical processes that occur in the body and are necessary for the body to function. Metabolites can be used as biomarkers to diagnose disease and to assess treatment efficacy.
In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at one specific metabolite. Topics of discussion include the biosynthesis and degradation in a broader health context, and the effects of dysregulation in disease.
Methionine – a crucial amino acid in metabolism, antioxidant defense, and cellular function
Learn about methionine, a vital sulfur-containing amino acid essential for protein synthesis, metabolism, antioxidant defense, and cellular health. Discover its dietary sources, impact on health, and role in diverse biological processes
Indoxyl sulfate – Metabolite of the month
Explore the role of indoxyl sulfate, a gut-derived uremic toxin linked to kidney, cardiovascular, and neurological health. Learn about its biosynthesis, impact on chronic disease, and potential as a therapeutic target.
Kynurenic acid – A neuroprotective metabolite with key roles in brain health and immune function
Metabolite of the month is your sneak peek into the world of metabolomics. In this month´s article, we took a closer look at kynurenic acid, an important neuroactive metabolite synthesized from tryptophan in the human body.
Butyric acid – A vital short-chain fatty acid for gut health and metabolic wellness
Metabolite of the month is your sneak peek into the world of metabolomics. In this month´s article, we took a closer look at butyric acid, which is one of three common SCFAs in the human gut.
