Short Description
Measures glycerol concentration.
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.
