MORRISVILLE, N.C., April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Metabolon, Inc., the global leader in providing metabolomics solutions that advance a wide variety of research, diagnostic, therapeutic development, and precision medicine applications, today announced the launch of its Bile Acids and Short Chain Fatty Acids Targeted Panels that measure microbially-derived metabolites of biological significance to identify biomarkers for the prediction and early detection of disease areas, including oncology, neurology, liver, diabetes, and gastrointestinal, and gut health.

Key Points: 
  • Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) are produced in the colon by the gut microbiota and are the end products of the anaerobic fermentation of dietary fibers and protein/peptides in the small intestine.
  • Metabolon's Bile Acids Targeted Panel measures 21 metabolites and has been designed specifically to advance pre-clinical research identifying bile-acid related biomarkers in digestive, metabolic, and neurological health.
  • "Metabolon is committed to advancing scientific understanding of the human microbiome and its impact on human health.
  • Our Bile Acids and Short Chain Fatty Acids Targeted Panels address an important need for today's cutting-edge researchers and will help unlock new insights into the complex interplay between diet, gut health, and disease, paving the way for the development of more personalized, targeted therapies."
