• • 5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-Carboxylic Acid Analysis Service

  5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) is a metabolite in the melanin biosynthesis pathway, particularly formed during the metabolism of indole derivatives such as L-DOPA and tyrosine. DHICA is primarily involved in the production of eumelanin, a type of melanin pigment, and plays a crucial role in pigmentation. Measuring the levels of DHICA in biological samples can reflect an individual's melanin production and their ability to synthesize eumelanin. In metabolomics research, DHICA is often used as

• • 1,7-Dimethyluric Acid Analysis Service

  1,7-dimethyluric acid is a metabolite in the purine metabolism pathway, particularly formed during the metabolism of xanthine derivatives such as caffeine and theobromine. 1,7-dimethyluric acid is primarily excreted through the kidneys into the urine. Measuring the levels of 1,7-dimethyluric acid in urine can reflect an individual's caffeine intake and their ability to metabolize caffeine. In metabolomics research, 1,7-dimethyluric acid is often used as a biomarker for the caffeine metabolism pathway. Clini

• • (3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl) Acetic Acid Analysis Service

  (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) acetic acid is an organic compound belonging to the class of phenylacetic acids, characterized by the presence of a phenyl ring substituted with two methoxy groups at the 3 and 4 positions and an acetic acid moiety. This compound can be derived from natural sources or synthesized chemically. It is of interest due to its potential biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may contribute to various health benefits.

• • Enterodiol Analysis Service

  Enterodiol is a phytoestrogen (also known as a plant estrogen) that belongs to the lignan class of compounds. It is produced by gut microbiota through the metabolism of plant precursors such as secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) or matairesinol. Enterodiol exhibits weak estrogen-like activity, meaning it can bind to estrogen receptors and partially mimic the actions of endogenous estrogens. This activity suggests that enterodiol may have potential health benefits in regulating hormone levels, protecting
