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.
A key metabolite in cellular energy production and various physiological processes such as fatty acid metabolism, amino acid synthesis, calcium signaling, anticoagulation and the regulation of pH balance.
A key metabolite in the citric acid cycle, essential for energy production and metabolic processes
Learn about methionine, a vital sulfur-containing amino acid essential for protein synthesis, metabolism, antioxidant defense, and cellular health. Discover its dietary sources, impact on health, and role in diverse biological processes
Explore the role of indoxyl sulfate, a gut-derived uremic toxin linked to kidney, cardiovascular, and neurological health. Learn about its biosynthesis, impact on chronic disease, and potential as a therapeutic target.
Metabolite of the month is your sneak peek into the world of metabolomics. In this month´s article, we took a closer look at kynurenic acid, an important neuroactive metabolite synthesized from tryptophan in the human body.
Metabolite of the month is your sneak peek into the world of metabolomics. In this month´s article, we took a closer look at butyric acid, which is one of three common SCFAs in the human gut.
The metabolite of this month is choline, implicated in various aspects of neurological and cardiovascular health and function.
Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), which has been suggested to be a “bad” metabolite
The metabolite of this month is 3-IAA, known as the most common plant growth hormone.
Our metabolite of the month melatonin is an ancient molecule found in all living organisms from bacteria to humans, with an evolution that can be traced back 2.5 billion years.
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 sphingosine-1-phosphate.
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 Arginine.
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.
Alpha-, beta- and gamma-aminobutyric acids (AABA, BABA and GABA) are a group of structurally similar nonproteinogenic amino acids.
Histamine stimulates smooth muscle contraction, vasodilation, and gastric acid secretion, and plays a role in cell differentiation, proliferation and regeneration
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.
Our metabolite of the month is Ornithine, a non-essential, non-proteinogenic amino acid that plays an essential role in the urea cycle.
Lactic acid is produced by various cells in the body, including muscle cells, red blood cells and neurons
