Stimulants enhance dopamine levels, while sedatives depress brain activity. Opioids manage pain but are addictive. Drugs like naloxone, antipsychotics, tranquilizers, and antidepressants modify neurotransmitter activity, influencing mental health. Psychedelics alter perception, and THC in marijuana affects appetite.

These metabolites, from compounds like bile acids, short-chain fatty acids, and branched-chain amino acids, are central to understanding the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. They have potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis and targets for therapeutic interventions.
