Strengthening our leadership position in immunoassays, Enzo Life Sciences now offers Amp'd™ GLP-1 ELISA Kit – a rapid ELISA for the detection of the active form of Glucagon-Like Peptide 1.
GLP-1 functions in the regulation of blood glucose through insulin, and plays a role in obesity and diabetes. It is the most potent promoter of insulin secretion and an important gastrointestinal peptide hormone, or incretin. In response to eating, increased levels of GLP-1 stimulate insulin secretion and inhibit glucagon release leading to lower blood glucose levels. These positive effects of GLP-1 on glucose regulation make it an important target for the management of type 2 diabetes and the study of obesity.
The Amp'd™ GLP-1 ELISA Kit can be used to quantify the active form of human GLP-1 in serum and plasma samples. This sensitive assay is fully quantitative, with the ability to detect as low as 5.5 pg/ml of Glucagon-like ...
