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...
Enhance Your Lab’s Molecular GI Portfolio
Molecular GI testing for bacteria such as salmonella, vibrio, and E. coli, and viral pathogens including norovirus and rotavirus, is instrumental in the diagnosis and treatment of infection and dysbiosis. In addition, many gastrointestinal disorders often require protein biomarker tests to aid in ac...

The complement system is essential to innate immunity which protects from chronic, autoimmune, and infectious disease. There are three distinct pathways of complement activation: classical, lectin/MBL, and alternative. Each leads...
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...
Bone Metabolism: The Cycle of Bone Growth and Resorption
Bone metabolism is a continual cycle of bone growth and resorption that is carefully orchestrated by the dynamic relationship between osteoclasts, osteoblasts and an array of hormonal and regulatory influences. The relative levels of these signaling molecules dictate whether healthy, balanced bo...
How Should We Define Vitamin D Deficiency?
Date: July 21, 2015
Author: Bethany Bell, PhD; Senior Product Manager at ALPCO
Dr. Anders Berg presented at the Northeast Laboratory Conference in October 2014 regarding a much debated topic: vitamin D deficiency and how this should be defined. Dr. Berg referenced over one thousand studies, re...
Understanding the Role of Energy Homeostasis in Diabetes
Introduction
The prevalence of diabetes and obesity has been on the rise for several decades and research has demonstrated that other parts of the body, including the cardiovascular system and kidneys, can be affected by diabetes. The key to understanding the relationship between diabetes and the...
Measuring Pancreatic Elastase to Diagnose Pancreatic Disease
Many digestive system disorders and diseases can present similar types of symptoms including bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and weight gain/loss. In an effort to rule in or rule out the presence of one disease or the absence of another, clinicians will often turn to clinically approved stool-bas...
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...
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...
