The microbiome is made of microorganisms living in and on our body. Through metabolism, the microbiome contributes essential metabolites that contribute to our health, but can also release toxic metabolites that contribute to disease. The study of the microbiome together with host biology is currently one of the hottest topics in biomedical research.
Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruits and honey, but also added to many processed foods. Unlike glucose, it is mainly metabolized in the liver, and excessive intake can contribute to metabolic and inflammatory health issues.
biocrates’ standardized metabolomics empowers global research. Here is a selection of how our community of users has translated molecular fingerprints into insights for 5P medicine in 2025.
2025 was a year shaped by 5P medicine for biocrates. From the evolution of our scientific content to new product highlights and our integration into the Biognosys Group, this year demonstrated how metabolomics brings the five pillars of modern medicine – preventive, predictive, precision, population-based, and participatory – to life.
Homovanillic acid (HVA) is a monocarboxylic acid best known for its role as a major dopamine metabolite.
p-cresol glucuronide (pCG) is a liver-derived conjugate of the gut microbial metabolite p-cresol, excreted via the kidneys, and it reflects gut-microbiome activity in blood and urine.
