Diagnostic Testing in GI Health
 60 to 70 million Americans are affected by gastrointestinal (GI) diseases and disorders each year. The estimated annual U.S. cost associated with GI disorders is over 140 billion dollars. Gl diseases and disorders can have a significant impact on quality of life, often contributing to anxiety ...
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...
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...
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...
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 Changing Roles of Bone Remodeling Biomarkers
Introduction Bones are traditionally known for their support, protection and movement properties, as well as their role in the processes of mineral balance and blood cell production. Research supports that bones do more than they were originally recognized for. Previous research investigating osteo...

Date: September 6, 2016 Author: Andrea Tarbet, Product Marketing Associate at ALPCO Signaling pathways dictate the differentiation, activation, and functions of immune cells.  Even the slightest problem in one cell signaling pathway can transform the immune system and turn it against the body,...
Regulating Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Consumer Products
Date: September 27, 2016 Author: Andrea Tarbet, Product Marketing Associate at ALPCO From cosmetics to water bottles, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have surfaced in our everyday lives. EDCs are compounds that can interfere with the endocrine system’s ability to help an organism develop...
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 ...
Adipokines and Adipose Tissue-Liver Crosstalk in Energy Metabolism
Research over the past several decades examining adipokines and adipose tissue-liver crosstalk in energy metabolism has revealed that adipose tissue is a very important metabolically active endocrine organ1. White, brown, and beige adipose tissue generate and secrete adipokines, such as adiponectin ...
Obesity Induced Adipose Tissue Dysfunction and NAFLD
Obesity is a known risk factor for developing metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)1. An increasing amount of evidence shows that obesity induced adipose tissue dysfunction and NAFLD development are closely related2. Obesity induced changes to adipokine secretion can h...
