Blood Biomarkers

ALP - Alkaline phosphatase

ALP (alkaline phosphatase), is an enzyme found in many tissues throughout the body, with the highest concentrations typically found in the liver, bile ducts, and bones.

AST - Aspartate aminotransferase

AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is an enzyme found in high concentrations in the liver, heart, and other organs. It plays a role in protein metabolism.

GGT - Gamma-glutamyl transferase

GGT (Gamma glutamyltransferase) is an enzyme found in high concentrations in the liver and other organs, including the kidneys, pancreas, and spleen. It helps to metabolize glutathione.

Lp(a) - Lipoprotein (a)

Lipoprotein (a), or Lp(a), is a key component in your blood that helps with lipid transportation. Higher levels are genetic and can be associated with heart health.

CRP - C-Reactive protein

CRP, or C-reactive protein, is a liver-produced protein that indicates inflammation in the body. It is used to assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

ApoB - Apolipoprotein B

APOB, or apolipoprotein B, is a protein that plays a critical role in transporting cholesterol and other lipids throughout the body. It is primarily produced in the liver.

Free Testosterone

Free testosterone is the portion of testosterone that is not bound to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) or albumin and is therefore available for use by the body's tissues.

SHBG - Sex hormone binding globulin

SHBG (Sex hormone-binding globulin) is a protein that binds to sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. This binding regulates the amount of free hormones in the bloodstream.

PSA - Prostate-specific antigen

PSA (Prostate-specific antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland in men. It is commonly used as a screening test for prostate cancer, but it can also be elevated in other conditions.

Total Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating various functions in men, such as sex drive, bone mass, muscle strength and mass, fat distribution...

TSH - Thyroid-stimulating hormone

TSH is a hormone produced in the brain that regulates the production of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones play a vital role in controlling the body's metabolism.

NT-proBNP

NT-proBNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) is a hormone produced by the heart in response to increased pressure or stress on the heart muscle. It helps the body get rid of excess fluid and salt.
