Metabolites Library
Metabolites are pivotal indicators of an organism's developmental or physiological status, serving as intermediate or end products. Within plants, these metabolites play vital roles in growth, cellular rejuvenation, resource allocation throughout the entire plant, and interactions with the environment. Moreover, they serve as indispensable resources for human nutrition, energy, and medicine. In humans, the metabolome performs several crucial functions essential for maintaining physiological balance and supporting overall health, encompassing energy production, building blocks for biomolecules, regulation of biological processes, homeostasis maintenance, response to environmental factors, and diagnostic and prognostic markers. Disruptions in the body's metabolic processes can lead to the accumulation or deficiency of crucial substances such as amino acids, organic acids, fatty acids, sugars, and hormones, resulting in diverse conditions like hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, gout, scurvy, and osteoporosis.
