Stool-Based Biomarkers to Differentiate Between IBD and IBS
What are IBD and IBS?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two different gastrointestinal tract issues affecting millions of people every day. Although there is some overlap between symptoms of IBD and IBS, differences still remain in regards to pathologies, risks...
Featured Biomarkers from A to Z
This handout briefly describes the role of several important hormones measured in research.

Heart Disease Biomarkers in Diabetes Research
Introduction
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses a constellation of diseases related to the heart and circulatory system. Despite efforts to understand and combat CVD complications from diabetes, 65% of diabetics will pass away from cardiovascular issues1. Part 2 of The Common Denominator eBoo...
Physiological Actions of Natriuretic Peptides
Introduction
Humans have at least 50 discovered hormones managing vital biological functions in the body. These hormones are produced by the body’s organs and glands. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are structurally related hormones synthesized and released from the heart, including atrial natriuretic p...
Early Detection of Diabetic Kidney Disease with Biomarkers
Introduction
Over one third of diabetics will develop diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in their lifetime1. Despite the large amount of diabetics suffering from DKD, current methods for measuring and tracking kidney function may not be specific enough for diabetic systems2,3.
Part III of The Common ...
Emerging Biomarker Research in NAFLD and NASH
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming the most common chronic liver disease in the western hemisphere affecting 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 10 children1. Today, liver biopsies are the only gold standard for precise diagnosis of NAFLD2. Because of this, there are tremendous efforts on the ...

The Relationship Between Glucagon and Energy Homeostasis
Glucagon is a gut hormone generated as a result of post translational modifications during proglucagon processing in the pancreas1,2,3. Research has demonstrated that glucagon has many physiological functions1,4. Understanding the role of glucagon in energy homeostasis has become important to many d...
ELISAs for CHO Host Cell Proteins

Differentiating Gastrointestinal Pathogens from IBD and IBS
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as well as infections from GI pathogens can present very similar symptoms. A host of tests have been developed to aid in the differentiation between IBD and IBS, such as calprotectin and lact...
Role of IGF-1 in the Growth Hormone/IGF Axis
The Growth Hormone/IGF axis consists of IGF-1, IGF-2 and several high and low affinity IGF Binding Proteins (IGFBP). The whole system is tightly regulated by a feedback loop involving Growth Hormone (GH) secreted by the pituitary, and GH production and secretion controlled by Growth Hormone Releasin...
Toxicology
Drug-Induced Organ Injury

Investigating Bioactive Leptin in Obesity Research
The Biology of Leptin
Leptin is a hormone composed of 167 amino acids and is primarily produced by adipocytes, therefore providing a signal to the energy state of organisms. By binding to the leptin receptor, the analyte influences activity within the JAK-STAT pathway and thereby regulates energy m...
The Significance of Bioactive Leptin in Obesity Research
May 3, 2016
Leptin resistance is a challenging topic of conversation in obesity. It is defined by a state in which the body does not display any adapted response to high endogenous or exogenous levels of leptin while continuing to maintain excess body weight1. This may be due to a decreased uptak...
