Description
This assay uses the Luminex® 200™ platform.
Consider this assay for a comprehensive analysis of metabolic hormones. The Human Metabolic Hormone 12-Plex Discovery Assay® Array measures hormones involved in glucose metabolism, appetite regulation, and endocrine function.
Metabolic syndrome is a collection of conditions occurring together, such as high blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, abdominal obesity, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Key features include insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and central obesity, which increase the risk of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, and premature death. This syndrome is often associated with low-grade inflammation linked to obesity and dysregulated production of inflammatory factors by adipocytes. Research in this area spans cytokines, acute phase proteins, diabetes and obesity-related hormones, and other cardiovascular disease biomarkers.
Ideal for research on metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity, this assay provides insights into markers like Insulin and Leptin. For example, Insulin plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis, while Leptin is involved in regulating energy balance and appetite.
Discover the power of precision with our Human Metabolic Hormone 12-Plex Discovery Assay® Array, expertly designed for the Luminex® 200™ platform. This cutting-edge technology enables the simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers from a minimal single sample, delivering comprehensive insights with unmatched efficiency. Streamline your research and unlock a new level of detail with our advanced multiplex assay solution.
NOTE: This assay replaces the Human Metabolic Hormone 9-Plex Discovery Assay®
*Special preparation instructions for Serum/Plasma samples: at time of collection add DPPIV inhibitor (GLP-1 measurement), Protease inhibitor cocktail (for Amylin measurement), Aprotinin (for Glucagon measurement) and Serine protease inhibitor (for Ghrelin measurement).
