Propionic acid – A short-chain fatty acid with big impact
A short-chain fatty acid produced by gut, it plays a role in energy metabolism, immune regulation, and neurological health
N-acetyl-aspartic acid (NAA) – Significant metabolite for brain function, metabolism, and disease
N-acetyl-aspartic acid (NAA) is a key brain metabolite involved in neuronal health, myelin synthesis, and metabolism. Its strong MRS signal makes it a valuable biomarker for neurological disorders, while emerging research links it to oncology, psychiatric conditions, and the gut-brain axis. As metabolomics advances, NAA’s role in diagnostics and personalized medicine continues to expand.
