About Diabetes Research Markers
Glucose-related metabolomic analyses are typically provided as global, untargeted metabolomics to detect and identify analytes in a sample, or targeted, absolute quantification of single metabolites. But to advance further research, there are limited options available for quantification and forensic investigation of related analytes and contributing sources of diabetes—until now. The Metabolon Diabetes Research Markers Targeted Panel takes your understanding of 22 metabolites known to contribute to diabetes further than ever before, helping you discover new insights into what factors may play a significant role in affecting diabetes.
Further Your Understanding of Glucose Tolerance
The Metabolon Diabetes Research Markers Targeted Panel offers absolute quantitation of 22 metabolites in a single blood sample, allowing you to quantify the levels of key analytes recognized as bioactive promoters and detractors for healthy glucose metabolism.
This panel is an addition to Metabolon’s portfolio of glucose and insulin-related targeted panels and single analyte assays. It provides confident, reproducible quantification of key analytes used to distinguish healthy and pre-diabetic subjects (eg, creatine, 2-hydroxybutyric acid), as well as lactoyl-phenylalanine which has been linked to several metabolic diseases, including diabetes.
The panel is a valuable new tool in your kit to explore the glucose tolerance phenotype using the power of metabolomics.

Applications for the Diabetes Research Markers Targeted Panel
Diabetes
Diabetes is a serious metabolic condition affecting more than 37 million Americans and 460 million people worldwide according to the most recent report from the Centers for Disease Control. Despite being a worldwide epidemic, much remains unknown about individual risk factors for diabetes development, and research is currently being done to identify new and effective treatment for diabetes at all stages. By facilitating assessment of specific metabolic pathways impacted by diabetes, targeted metabolomics can be a critical tool used to identify biomarkers of disease development for early intervention and novel targets to control disease progression, as well for the development of new pharmaceuticals with specific mechanisms of action.
