VLDL is a type of lipoprotein made by the liver. VLDL is one of the five major groups of lipoproteins (chylomicrons, VLDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein) that enable fats and cholesterol to move within the water-based solution of the bloodstream. VLDL is assembled in the liver from cholesterol and apolipoproteins. VLDL is converted in the bloodstream to low-density lipoprotein (LDL). VLDL particles have a diameter of 30-80 nm. VLDL transports endogenous products, whereas chylomicrons transport exogenous (dietary) products.VLDL transports endogenous triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and cholesteryl esters. It functions as the body's internal transport mechanism for lipids.

5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) is an endogenous eicosanoid. 5-HETE is an intermediate in the pathway of leukotriene synthesis. In addition, it is a modulator of tubuloglomerular feedback. 5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid is a key intermediate of the arachidonate-dependent protective signaling in monocytes/macrophages exposed to peroxynitrite.

Hepcidin is a 25 amino-acid (aa) cystein-rich peptide involved in iron metabolism: it regulates both intestinal iron absorption and macrophage iron recycling. There are several clinical applications for hepcidin measurements such as iron overload disorders and anemia, chronic inflammation, kidney disease and cancer. This peptide can also be found in the 20, 22 and 24-aa isoforms; however the histopathological relevance of these isoforms still needs to be determined and they are most likely the result of the degradation of the bioactive 25-aa isoform.

IL-6 gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections.

Human Cortisol (COR) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate Cortisol in samples. An antibody specific for Cortisol has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any Cortisol present is bound by the immobilized antibody.

WNT10B is a member of the WNT gene family. It may be involved in breast cancer, and its protein signaling is likely a molecular switch that governs adipogenesis. This protein is 96% identical to the mouse Wnt10b protein at the amino acid level.

FMet-Leu-Phe receptor is a protein encoded by the FPR1 gene.Ozcelik et al. mapped the FPR1 gene to human chromosome 19 by Southern analysis of rodent/human somatic cell hybrids and use of a cDNA probe. An FPR-like gene was also identified on chromosome 19 . An FPR-like gene that mapped to chromosome 2 was found in fact to represent an interleukin 8 receptor.

IL-6 is a multifunctional protein produced by lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells, and by normal and transformed cells, including T cells, monocyte/macrophages, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, vascular endothelial cells, cardiac myxomas, bladder cell carcinomas, myelomas, astrogliomas and glioblastomas.

CD163, a hemoglobin scavenger receptor, is expressed in monocytes and macrophages.Acute phase-regulated receptor involved in clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin c by macrophages and may thereby protect tissues from free hemoglobin-mediated oxidative damage.CD163 may play a role in the uptake and recycling of iron, via endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin and subsequent breakdown of heme.
