In humans, histamine (ß-imidazolethylamine) is the most important mediator and is mostly found in the initial phase of an anaphylactic reaction ("immediate type" allergy). Histamine is derived by the enzymatic decarboxylation of histidine. In the organism, histamine is present in nearly all tissues, and it is…

Specification:96testDescription:
The catecholamines adrenalin, noradrenalin and dopamine are synthesized in the adrenal medulla, the sympathetic nervous system and in the brain. They influence virtually all tissues and are involved together with other hormonal and neuronal systems in the regulation of a wide variety of physiological processes. As…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Androstenedione is synthesized in the adrenal gland. It is the primary precursor of testosterone in women. Therefore, in women, androstenedione contributes significantly to the level of androgenic activity, while in men this contribution is nil. Quantitation of androstenedione may indicate androgenic activity in…

In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid often with a long unbranched aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Carboxylic acids as short as butyric acid (4 carbon atoms) are considered to be fatty acids, while fatty acids derived from natural fats and oils…

Adiponectin, also known as Adipocyte Complement-Related Protein of 30kDa (ACRP30), is a secreted serum protein expressed exclusively in differentiated adipocytes. Studies indicated that decreased plasma adiponectin concentration is associated with obesity, insulin resistance , essential hypertension , inflammation…

Specification:96testDescription:
The endothelin peptide family consists of three isoforms, ET-1 (corresponding to the initially isolated and most predominant isoform), ET-2, and ET-3. ET-1 is a 21 amino acid peptide and is one of the most potent vasoconstritors currently known. ET-2 displays similar pharmacology to ET-1, whereas ET-3 is a weak…

Specification:96testDescription:
5-a-Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a C19 androgenic steroid hormone similar to testosterone and androstenedione. The bulk of the androgen production takes place mainly in the Leydig cells of testes. Androgens circulate in the blood bound to proteins, especially Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin. A trace…
