Metabolites

Metabolites are the intermediate molecules used in a living organism's metabolism and are essential for regulating the chemical processes of the body. They are produced by catalytic reactions in the body to form or break down other molecules. Metabolites have a variety of uses, including respiration, digestion, energy production, growth and development, and excretion. Metabolites also play a critical role in the body's immune system and in disease prevention. They can also be used as biomarkers to diagnose diseases, as well as to provide insight into certain types of cancers and metabolic diseases. As such, understanding the role of metabolites in health and disease is an important area of research.
