Myeloperoxidase: A Key Marker of Cardiovascular Health

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an essential enzyme with significant implications for cardiovascular health. Found in immune cells like neutrophils and monocytes, MPO plays a crucial role in the body’s immune response by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to combat pathogens. However, elevated levels of MPO have been linked to inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key […]
C-reactive Protein: A Key Indicator of Cardiovascular Health

Research shows that C-reactive protein (CRP) is an essential biomarker for understanding inflammation and its role in cardiovascular conditions.1 Produced by the liver in response to inflammation, CRP is one of several acute-phase reactants that increase rapidly when tissue injury or systemic inflammation occurs. For laboratories, offering CRP testing in research applications can provide critical […]
Oxidized LDL: A Key Marker to Assess Cardiovascular Risk

Understanding the role of cardiovascular biomarkers is essential to assessing risks and guiding preventative strategies. Research shows one such biomarker, oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), has become a critical indicator of oxidative stress and inflammation—two key contributors to cardiovascular conditions.1 By measuring ox-LDL, your lab can contribute to advancing cardiovascular research. What Is Oxidized LDL? Oxidized LDL […]
3 Key Cardiovascular Health Markers to Advance Research

February is National Heart Month, an important time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and prevention strategies. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of health-related challenges worldwide, affecting millions of individuals annually. While lifestyle changes and early intervention can significantly reduce risk, laboratories play a critical role in advancing research through accurate and timely […]
