Metabolomics Analysis

• • Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) Analysis

  Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Structurally characterized by its 20-carbon chain with five double bonds, EPA is a key component in the phospholipid makeup of cell membranes, influencing their fluidity and functioning. It serves as a precursor to various eicosanoids, which are potent molecules involved in inflammatory responses and cellular signaling.

• • Medium-Chain Fatty Acids Analysis Service

  Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are essential biomolecules characterized by their carbon chain lengths of 6 to 12 carbons. Predominantly derived from dietary sources such as coconut oil and dairy products, MCFAs play pivotal roles in various metabolic processes. Unlike their long-chain counterparts, MCFAs are rapidly absorbed and metabolized by the liver, serving as a quick energy source and influencing lipid metabolism.

• • Pyrimidine Metabolism Service

  Pyrimidine metabolism is a crucial biochemical pathway that involves the synthesis and degradation of pyrimidine bases, fundamental components of nucleic acids. Understanding pyrimidine metabolism is key to exploring cellular functions and the genetic regulation of organisms, given its integral role in DNA and RNA synthesis. Aberrations in this pathway can lead to various genetic disorders and have implications in cancer biology...

• • Nitrogen Metabolism Service

  Nitrogen metabolism is a fundamental biological process that involves the assimilation, utilization, and recycling of nitrogenous compounds. Essential to all forms of life, nitrogen is a critical component of amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids, which are building blocks for the cells and enzymes that drive vital physiological functions. In plants, nitrogen metabolism influences growth and productivity, while in animals, it affects everything from energy dynamics to reproductive health.

• • Oxidative Phosphorylation Analysis Service

  Oxidative phosphorylation is the final and critical stage of cellular respiration, primarily occurring within the mitochondria. This process is pivotal in the production of ATP, the universal energy currency of cells, by harnessing the energy released during the electron transport chain to power the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. It is intricately linked to the metabolic function and energy balance of cells, and its efficiency directly impacts cellular health, aging, and...

• • Bile Acids Analysis Service

  Bile acids are crucial biological compounds derived from cholesterol in the liver, playing essential roles in the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine. Beyond their digestive functions, bile acids act as signaling molecules, profoundly influencing liver and metabolic health by modulating lipid, glucose, and energy homeostasis.

• • Animal Hormone Quantification Analysis

  Animal hormones play a crucial role in cell signaling, metabolism, growth, and development. Their quantification is necessary to understand physiological and pathophysiological processes. MtoZ Biolabs utilizes advanced mass spectrometry techniques combined with our unique quantification software for accurate, reliable, and comprehensive quantitative and qualitative of hormones in various animal samples.

• • Animal Targeted Metabolomics Service

  Animal Targeted Metabolomics employs cutting-edge analytical chemistry techniques to measure predefined sets of metabolites from cells, tissues, and biological fluids. This approach enables rapid detection and quantification of hundreds to thousands of metabolites within a single sample, providing researchers with a comprehensive view of systemic metabolism and biological functions.

• • Nucleotide Metabolism Service

  Nucleotides, the fundamental building blocks of nucleic acids, play a critical role in various biological processes. Each nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base, which can be either a purine (adenine and guanine) or a pyrimidine (cytosine, uracil, and thymine). These molecules form the backbone of DNA and RNA, carrying genetic information crucial for cell function and heredity.

• • Triglyceride Analysis Service

  Triglycerides are a type of lipid that function as a major form of energy storage in both plants and animals. Structurally, they are composed of three fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone, making them crucial for various biological processes including energy metabolism and cell signaling. Their levels in biological systems, particularly in human serum, are critical indicators of metabolic health, with imbalances often associated with diseases such as ocardiovascular diseases...
