Development Stage: Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Short Description
Measures glycerol concentration.
Brand
OXPHOSight
Development Stage
Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Description
The OXPHOSight™ Glycerol Assay Kit serves as a direct index of lipolysis intensity, enabling the screening of anti-obesity compounds and metabolic regulators in adipocytes. Highly sensitive detection allows for the evaluation of triglyceride-lowering therapeutics and their mechanism of action. This assay is instrumental in metabolic research for dissecting the pathways involved in lipid mobilization and storage.

Background
Glycerol is the backbone of triglycerides and phospholipids. During lipolysis glycerol is released into the bloodstream; its measurement serves as a direct index of triglyceride breakdown in adipocytes.
