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.
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 Cinnamaldehyde.

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
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.
