Abstract
Metabolism encompasses a series of intricate biochemical processes that are vital for the sustenance of life in organisms.Metabolomics,an essential scientific discipline,is a field of study within the broader domain of systems biology that focuses on the comprehensive analysis of small molecules,known as metabolites including lipids,coenzymes,etc.,which are synthesized during metabolism.With the contin-uous development of metabolomics,the multiple biological functions of metabolites are constantly being discovered,encompassing signal transduction and enzyme stimulation,while concurrently exhibiting as-sociations with afflictions like cancer and diabetes.The comprehension of metabolite functionalities and their intricate interplay with disease conditions assumes paramount importance in both disease-focused research endeavors and the development of diagnostic tools.This scholarly exposition undertakes an ex-tensive review of recent advancements in the investigation of functional roles assumed by metabolites,with specific emphasis on metabolites in lipid synthesis,glucose metabolism and exogenous metabolites.
