Cellular Metabolism

cellular metabolismMetabolism is the driving force behind all biological processes, serving as the  conductor of biological function and cell well-being. The biological reactions are categorized into catabolic reactions that provide cells with energy and anabolic reactions that facilitate the synthesis of essential molecules. These reactions involve essential molecules like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and eliminating nitrogenous wastes. Therefore, cells need several metabolic pathways for growth and reproduction to maintain optimal cellular function.

The increasing rates of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders in developed countries  stresses the importance of understanding how our bodies metabolize and store food. As a result, research is focused on lipid and glucose metabolism, which are of particular interest in the study of these diseases and treatments.

Lipid Metabolism
Focus on triglyceride and cholesterol transport within lipoprotein particles, cellular absorption of LDL/VLDL/HDL, and lipids. It is vital for overall health to  balance blood lipid levels.  Lipid metabolism disruptions or elevations may lead to  different diseases such as  atherosclerosis, diabetes, and many metabolic syndromes. 

Glucose Regulation
Focus on the regulation of glucose homeostasis by Insulin and Glucagon, leading to energy balance and influencing energy expenditure. Dysregulation of glucose and insulin is the defining characteristic of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. 

MBL International provides a wide range of ELISA kits and antibodies targeting various metabolic biomarkers such as lipid metabolism, NAD+ , PCSK9, Chitotriosidase, S100 proteins and more.
