Cholesterol Assay Kits We have expanded our portfolio of cholesterol assays to include the following kits:
|
Serum Triglyceride and Free Glycerol Assays Triglycerides in the blood serve as an energy source and play a key role in metabolism. They are the digestive end product of breaking down dietary fats in the body. Triglycerides are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol by lipoprotein lipases.
|
The amount of cholesterol in the blood is mediated by the presence of certain cell-surface receptors which bind lipoproteins and engulf them by endocytosis.
|
Human Oxidized LDL ELISA Kits LDL cholesterol, sometimes referred to as "bad" cholesterol, is even more dangerous when it becomes oxidized. Oxidized LDL (OxLDL) is more reactive with surrounding tissues and can collect within the inner-lining of arteries. |
