Endocrine System Research with a Comprehensive Portfolio of Immunoassays
Endocrinology
The endocrine system is a complex network of organs and glands that govern metabolism, growth, mood, sleep, fertility, blood pressure and more through hormone release. Endocrine disorders result from dysfunctional hormone secretion or reception and can cause problems throughout the body. ALPCO is a single source for 100+ immunoassays optimized for diverse workflows to measure endocrine biomarkers and accelerate research and diagnostics.
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 these other areas begins with the role of energy homeostasis in diabetes. At the same time, investig...
ALPCO is pleased to announce the addition of two new radioimmunoassays (RIA) to measure vasopressin. The Vasopressin RIA and the Vasopressin Direct RIA. Both assays were originally developed by BÜHLMANN Laboratories. After optimization for greater ease-of-use, they are now offered by NovoLytiX GmbH of Switzerland. ALPCO is proud to be the exclusive distributor for the Vasopressin RIA and Va...
800 million people worldwide struggle with obesity, a disease poised to cost over $1 trillion in medical consequences by 2025. Over 40% of the US population is impacted, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Obesity is a major risk factor in the development of illnesses that lead to diabetes, such as insulin resistance, hypertension, and other metabolic disorders. Long-term disrupti...
