Metabolic pathway maps assemble the results of lipid metabolite measurements, with flux equations, to generate an informative graphical representation of a lipid metabolism
Lipomics Technologies, which specialises in lipid metabolite research and analytical services, has announced two new products for metabolic research, Insight and Signature.
Insight metabolic pathway maps assemble the results of TrueMass lipid metabolite measurements, with Signature flux equations, to generate an informative graphical representation of a lipid metabolism.
An Insight map can be used, for example, to evaluate the metabolic effects of drug compounds or to establish the mechanism of unusual drug response.
Insight pathway maps include those representing lipid metabolism in plasma or serum, liver, adipose, muscle and heart tissue as well as maps for specific metabolic processes including lipogenesis and essential fatty acid metabolism.
Signature equations use TrueMass data to estimate the steady-state flux of lipid metabolites through key lipid metabolism pathways.
Signature equations have been developed and empirically tested using the company's extensive database experimental subjects and its institutional knowledge of lipid metabolism.
TrueMass analysis, Lipomics core product, is a proprietary system for quantifying hundreds of lipid metabolites in biological sample.
Insight and Signature products are available exclusively to Lipomics research alliance partners.
