A recent study was conducted at Medical Sciences Research Centre, Autonomous University of the State of Mexico citing EagleBio’s MDA Oxidized LDL ELISA Assay Kit, a kit designed for the quantitative determination of human MDA Oxidized LDL in serum or plasma. This assay is part of our Oxidative Stress Assay Kit Line which is a comprehensive group consisting of a numerous valuable products for assisting scientists in fields of research such as diabetes, cancer, aging, and other similar areas of study. See the product page below for full details on the kit or view the links below to find a new publication referencing our MDA Oxidized LDL ELISA Assay Kit.  

Publication:

Laguna-Camacho, Antonino. “Direct effects of fatty meals and adiposity on oxidised low-density lipoprotein.” Obesity Research & Clinical Practice 2015: 9(3): 298-300.

Study Summary:

The objective of this study was to track high-fat meals during a four week period to observe and study the effects of sustained frequency change on adipostiy and oxidized LDL. EagleBio’s MDA Oxidized LDL ELISA Assay Kit was utilized to measure Malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified Apo B in human serum.  The findings indicated that changes in frequency of consumption of high-fat eating episodes correlated directly with changes in adiposity and oxidized Low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). Hence the number of fatty meals consumed by people with overweight or obesity in few weeks could affect the atherogenic process.

Eagle Biosciences’ Cardiovascular line is a full list of unique assays for the
comprehensive determination of important and emerging biomarkers of
cardiovascular disease. Our NT-proBNP ELISA Assay Kit is one of the top assays in this Cardiovascular line offering a sensitive and specific means to assess BNP status. In addition, this assay kit
also provides excellent stability in
serum for reliable results and
a wide dynamic range thus enabling the accurate detection of the early stages
of heart failure.

EagleBio’s NT-proBNP Assay is an incredible tool for researchers, providing a more valuable, simple, cost-effective, and
flexible alternative to existing methods.

 

Why Measure NT-proBNP?

The N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is
a 76 amino acid N-terminal protein that is cleaved to release brain natriuretic
peptide. Both NTproBNP and BNP are secreted mainly by the left cardiac
ventricle as a result of pressure overload and wall stretch. Elevated NT-proBNP
levels indicate the presence of ongoing myocardial stress and potentially an
underlying, possibly unsuspected, cardiac disorder.  

NT-proBNP is the N-terminal 76 amino-acid
cleavage product of proBNP that is released from cardiac ventricles in response
to increased wall stress and volume overload. NT-proBNP has a longer half-life
in the circulation (120 minutes) compared with the C-terminal BNP peptide (20
minutes). Therefore, the measurement of NT-proBNP offers excellent stability in
serum/plasma for reliable results.

 

Key Advantages of EagleBio’s NT-proBNP
ELISA Assay Kit?

• Simple ELISA method
• Uniquely designed antibodies for enhanced cross-reactivity with Nt-proBNP 1-76
• Excellent stability: Long half-life of 120 minutes allows for ease of measurement and valuable,
  reliable results.
• Flexible: Assay
  format and short incubation time offers ability to run in all types of labs and
  on various platforms-manual or automated.
• Wide Dynamic Range: Allow for enhanced, accurate detection of the early stages of heart
  failure.

Can l-Cysteine and Vitamin D Rescue Vitamin D and Vitamin D Binding Protein Levels in Blood Plasma of African American Type 2 Diabetic Patients?

 

Study Summary:

Vitamin D deficiency and an a rapidly increasing rate of diabetes have
become a worldwide epidemic, particularly affecting African Americans. This study demonstrated that there was a significant positive correlation was observed between lower Vitamin D Binding Protein (VDBP) and vitamin D and l-cysteine and glutathione blood levels in African American diabetic
patients; raising glutathione status via l-cysteine supplementation
upregulated both VDBP and VDBP/vitamin D receptor in monocytes. VDBP is a
key determinant of vitamin D blood levels. This novel finding will
impact the clinical practice of vitamin D supplementation and the
development of new therapies based on the potential of l-cysteine coupled with lower vitamin D doses to improve the efficacy and
levels of vitamin D and health outcomes in African Americans. Researchers utilized Eagle Biosciences’ 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA to measure plasma levels of 25-OH Vitamin D.

Subclinical Hypovitaminosis D and Osteoporosis in Breast Cancer Patients

 

Study Summary:

Vitamin D has also been reported to have anticancer activities against many cancer types, including breast cancer. The breakthrough that breast epithelial cells can locally manufacture active vitamin D from circulating precursors, makes the effect of vitamin D in breast cancer biologically conceivable. This study focuses on evaluating the circulating concentration of 25-hydroxy vitamin D and the bone mineral density status of breast cancer patients and to study their relation to the treatment received and the stage of breast cancer.  Researchers utilized Eagle Biosciences’ 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA to measure serum levels of 25-OH Vitamin D.

This study did in fact support the findings of increased incidence of hypovitaminosis D, osteoporosis and osteopenia in breast cancer patients. Therefore, it is concluded that there is value and importance of offering calcium and vitamin D supplements to breast cancer patients. It is recommended that breast cancer patients have a DXA scan on a yearly basis.
