Listed for reference. Requests for this resource aren't handled here.
What researchers can do
An inflammation marker for the gut (fecal) or for metabolic disease (plasma or serum), by ELISA.
Lipocalin-2, also called neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), is a secreted glycoprotein used as a biomarker of inflammation, measured by ELISA.
- Fecal: lipocalin-2 is expressed in intestinal epithelium and rises in models of intestinal inflammation and injury. Fecal levels correlate well with other markers of intestinal inflammation.
- Plasma or serum: lipocalin-2 rises in metabolic diseases with an inflammatory phenotype, including type 2 diabetes, obesity and liver steatosis, and is highly expressed in white adipose tissue, where it tracks obesity.
