Metabolites in Modern Medicine: Decoding the Future of Health and Diseases
Abstract: The end products of many metabolic processes in cells are called metabolites. Each reaction contributes a specific metabolite. Metabolites act as fingerprints of on-going biological processes. Constant changes in cellular composition due to both environmental and internal factors. By analysing the types and presence of metabolites, scientists can effectively reconstruct the inner workings of a cell or organism. In the past, analysing metabolites was a slow and tedious process, often …
