Metabolite of the month – Aminobutyric acids
Alpha-, beta- and gamma-aminobutyric acids (AABA, BABA and GABA) are a group of structurally similar nonproteinogenic amino acids.
Histamine – Metabolite of the month
Histamine stimulates smooth muscle contraction, vasodilation, and gastric acid secretion, and plays a role in cell differentiation, proliferation and regeneration
Metabolite of the month – Glycine
Glycine plays a role in metabolic regulation, neurological function, anti-oxidative reactions and protein synthesis. It offers multiple health benefits that may help to treat diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation and obesity.
Ornithine – Metabolite of the month
Our metabolite of the month is Ornithine, a non-essential, non-proteinogenic amino acid that plays an essential role in the urea cycle.
