Organisms take-in carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, inorganic salts, etc., and synthesize substances necessary for life activities or produce energy. Although such metabolism is essential for life activities, an imbalance in metabolism can lead to various diseases. Particularly, people with metabolic syndrome, in which visceral fat-type obesity is combined with abnormalities in blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipids, are said to be at high risk for arteriosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Fujifilm Wako offers a lineup of measuring kits for important factors related to the metabolic regulation of sugar and lipids, factors that serve as indicators of liver and kidney function, and biomarkers that are expected to be useful for differentiation of NASH or as indicators of liver fibrosis.
