Screening System Detects Four Metabolic Disorders
Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) are a group of rare, inherited metabolic disorders in which enzymes (proteins) that normally eliminate unwanted substances in the body’s cells are not at normal levels or functioning properly. If not detected and treated in a timely manner, these disorders may cause organ damage, neurological disability or death. More...15 Feb 2017
Increased Triglyceride Content Associated with Plasma Lipoprotein Lipase
Non-fasting plasma triglyceride (TG) reflect a higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than TG in the fasting plasma and this the postprandial increase of TG is the most common form of hyperlipidemia which is associated with increased remnant lipoproteins (RLP) as a risk factor for CVD.
