Description

Muscle contraction during physical activity is an important activator of the release of the myokines. Myokines not only act in an autocrine and/or paracrine manner in regulation of skeletal muscle growth, but they also act as endocrine hormones to mediate inter-organ crosstalk. The myokine theory provides molecular mechanistic explanations for exercise-induced metabolic changes in liver and adipose tissue and for the profound changes found in immune and neuronal systems. MILLIPLEX(R) Human Myokine Panel is a15-plex kit to be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytes in human serum,plasma and cell/tissue supernatant samples: Fractalkine/CX3CL1, BDNF, Oncostatin M (OSM), Osteonectin (SPARC), LIF, FGF-21, Erythropoietin (EPO), IL-15, IL-6, Apelin, Myostatin/GDF8, Irisin, Osteocrin/Musclin, FABP3 and Follistatin-Like Protein (FSTL 1). This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate. The Luminex(R) xMAP(R) platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume. Panel Type: Metabolism
