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.
Taurine – Regulator of cellular function
Metabolite of the month is your sneak peek into the world of metabolomics. In this month´s article, we took a closer look at Taurine, the most abundant intracellular amino acid in the human body.
Metabolite of the month – Dopamine
Metabolite of the month is your sneak peek into the world of metabolomics. This month discover dopamine, a link between memory, blood pressure, and music.
Spermidine : Unlocking the secrets of cellular aging and longevity
The metabolite of this month is spermidine, a biogenic amine with applications in cancer, neurology and hair research.
Cholic acid – a signaling molecule
The metabolite of this month is cholic acid, of the the bile acid class. Notorious for their role in digestion, they are also powerful regulators of metabolism.
