Arachidonic Acid Panel - 1
Mono-oxygenated metabolites of arachidonic acid make up
this panel. These metabolites are formed via the cytochrome P450 and lipoxygenase pathways
and have been implicated in various inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases |

Vitamin D Metabolite Panel
The Vitamin D2 and D3 families affect calcium
homeostasis and are implicated in many chronic diseases such as cancer,
hypertension and cardiac disease. Analysis of the 25-hydroxy-D2 and D3
metabolites is the first step in assessing patient Vitamin D status.
Planned future additions to the panel include D2 and D3 residues upstream
and downstream from the 25-hydroxy compounds. |

ADMA Analysis
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a naturally occurring component of human plasma.
It inhibits the synthesis of nitric oxide and many researchers today agree that ADMA
may play a role in the progression of cardiovascular disease. An assay has been
validated to detect ADMA in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Drug Analysis
Most drugs on this list are either substrates for cytochrome P450 isoforms or various transport proteins.
As such, they serve as biomarkers for enzyme activity and pharmacokinetic processes
