The broadest metabolism assay portfolio
Metabolism is a vital and complex process for all life forms. It is broadly defined as the sum of all the biochemical processes involved in maintaining the living state of the cells, and thus the organism. Transformation of the macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in food to energy is an integral part of the metabolic processes. Metabolic processes can be divided into two main categories:
- A) Anabolic processes, which consume energy to synthesize simple molecules or polymerize them into more complex macromolecules e.g. DNA, RNA, and proteins.
- B) Catabolic processes that degrade molecules to release energy. Additionally, metabolic processes also help to get rid of toxic substances. Metabolism plays a key role in the areas of physiology, cell biology, and medicine. Perturbations in metabolic pathways have been linked to many human diseases including cancer, diabetes, obesity, hypoglycemia, hypolipidemia, phenylketonuria, neurodegeneration, etc. Thus, understanding the metabolic variations can be a crucial aspect of disease-oriented research.
BioVision is proud to offer the broadest metabolism kit portfolio for studying carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids & proteins, inorganic ions, serum components, coenzymes & cofactors to oxidative stress, glycolysis pathway, and intermediary metabolism. Additionally, many of these above-mentioned kits can also be used for Warburg’s effect in cancer research with assays for Lactate, Glucose uptake, ATP, ADP, NAD/NADH & many more.
