This test measures the ratio of arachidonic acid (AA) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in plasma. This ratio of the principle omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is a measure of the body’s eicosanoid balance. Balancing these eicosanoids in the body i
Learn moreGliadin constitutes a class of proteins that are present in wheat and other cereal which give it the ability to rise properly when baked. The main types of gliadin are alpha, beta, gamma and omega gliadins. Research has suggested that antibody reacti
Learn moreHigh levels of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) antibodies are indicative of penetration of LPS into the bloodstream. LPS binds to cells lining the gut and increases synthesis of pro-inflammatory substances.

Learn moreArachidonic acid (AA) is a 20-carbon polyunsaturated n-6 fatty acid with 4 double bonds (20:4n6). Its double bonds contribute to cell membrane fluidity and predispose it to oxygenation. This can lead to several important metabolites which ensure a pr
Learn moreSpecies in the genus Bacteroides carry out broad metabolic functions, including degradation of complex plant polysaccharides, proteolytic activities, de-conjugation of bile acids, mucosal barrier integrity, short chain fatty acid production, fatty ac
Learn moreBifidobacterium infantis is a highly specialized microbe ("beneficial bacteria") that resides in the gut microbiome. Unlike most other bacteria in the gut microbiome, Bifidobacterium infantis (also known as "b in
Learn moreClostridium spp. is part of the intestinal indigenous microbiota and they can produce several endogenous infections.

Learn moreThe copper to zinc ratio refers to the relative proportion of copper to zinc in the body, and it is an important indicator of overall health. Both copper and zinc are essential trace minerals that play crucial roles in various physiological processes
Learn moreEggerthella lenta is a normal human microflora that is anaerobic, non-sporulating, and Gram positive. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that it could also be an important pathogen for humans, even causing life-threatening infec
Learn moreLinoleic acid (LA) is the only essential omega-6 fatty acid and must be obtained from the diet. From LA, other omega-6s can be created using elongase and desaturase enzymes. LA contains 18 carbons, with 2 double bonds, the first of which is at the 6t
