“…Some authors restrict the metabolome to the set of endogenous metabolites [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], although the exogenous metabolites (e.g., drugs and body microbiota) also play an important role in an organism’s physiology or pathophysiology [ 9 ]. In fact, the metabolome can be divided into four categories: (i) the intracellular metabolome (or endometabolome), which includes all metabolites produced by each cell type, tissue, or organism [ 10 , 11 ]; (ii) the extracellular metabolome (or exometabolome), which refers to the metabolites secreted or consumed by the cells [ 11 , 12 ]; (iii) the microbial metabolome produced by the microbiota [ 10 , 13 ]; and (iv) the xenometabolome, which includes the metabolites derived from xenobiotics, pollutants, and diet [ 10 , 14 ].…”
