Exercise Biomarker Analysis

Facilities & testing
University

In our lab, we offer comprehensive biochemical analysis for exercise biomarkers in blood, urine, and saliva. These include analysis of enzymatic activity, protein analysis, gene expression, and metabolite concentrations. We commonly employ techniques such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, biochemical detection, western blotting, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. We often employ these techniques to detect pre- and post-exercise changes and serial assessments during longitudinal exercise training protocols. Common measurements include but are not limited to:

-Catecholamines/stress molecules -Muscle metabolites -Various enzymes/hormones -Inflammatory signals/cytokines -Muscle damage biomarkers -MicroRNAs -Lipids/cholesterol -Oxidative stress biomarkers
