General description
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions, including increased blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Key features of metabolic syndrome include insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and central obesity—all of which are risk factors for atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, and even premature death. Adults with metabolic syndrome present a low-grade inflammation, whose link with obesity may be a production of pro- and anti-inflammatory factors. Consequently, research done in this area covers multi-faceted fields of cytokines, acute phase proteins, diabetes, and obesity related hormones, as well as other cardiovascular disease biomarkers. The MILLIPLEX® Human Metabolic Hormone Panel is a 15 analyte, 13-plex kit to be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytes in serum, plasma and cell/tissue culture samples: Amylin (Active) or Amylin (Total), C-Peptide, Ghrelin (Active), GIP, GLP-1 (Active) or GLP-1 (Total), Glucagon, IL-6, Insulin, Leptin, MCP-1, PP, PYY, TNFα. This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate. The Luminex® xMAP® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume.
