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.
