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...
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 ...
Featured Biomarkers from A to Z
This handout briefly describes the role of several important hormones measured in research.
Toxicology
Drug-Induced Organ Injury
Toxicological side effects are a common obstacle in drug development pipelines and often manifest in site-specific damage to vital organs, including the liver, kidney and heart. Estimates of compound attrition from failure to meet safety endpoints are as high as 45% in pre...
CisBio's Chromoa® Chromogranin A ELISA
Chromoa®
The Chromoa® Chromogranin A ELISA from Cisbio Bioassays is for the quantitative determination of CgA in serum and plasma. The patented monoclonal detection system provides superior specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility to determine elevated serum CgA levels. Above all, the hook effe...
New Stool-Based Gastroenterology Assays and Extraction Method Can Improve Lab Sample Processing Time By Up To 86%
Date: January 26, 2016
ALPCO recently launched a new panel of 13 stool-based gastroenterology assays that are all compatible with one single extraction step. The unique extraction method allows laboratories to improve their sample processing time by up to 86% by extracting one sample for up to 13...
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...
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...
The Role of IgE and IgG in Allergy Testing
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives...
