Analytes measured:

Power and Endurance

AGT:  An essential component of the renin-angiotensin system. It influences exercise and training methods for best results.

ACE: Responsible for the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II – influencing vasodilation  and vasoconstriction. VEGF An endothelial cell proliferator involved in blood vessel growth to increase oxygenation and thus impact VO2max. BDRKB Influences the communication between the renin-angiotensin and kainin-kalikrein systems impacting thirst and fluid loss.

ACTN:  An actin-binding protein that influences the function of fast-twitch muscle fibres.

ADRB2:  Associated with blood vessel growth to meet the needs of the active tissue and so influencing oxygenation and VO2max.

NRF-2:  Improves respiratory capacity and increases ATP production during exercise.

PPARGC1A:  Associated with the mediation of the initial phase of exercise and increasing mitochondrial biogenesis.

PPARA:  Associated with lipid and glucose metabolism.

TRHR:  Thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulates the release of thyroid stimulating hormone and metabolic rate.

VDR:  Has a profound influence on bone density.

IL-6:  Plays a crucial role in inflammation by regulating the expression of C reactive protein (CRP)

Injury and Recovery

GDF5:  Plays a role in the development and healing of the skeletal system and soft tissues.

COL1A1:  A collagen protein found in tendons, ligaments and cartilage.

COL5A1:  Forms one of the minor fibrillar collagens of tendons and ligaments.

Il-6:  Influences cytokine induced inflammation.

CRP:  Raises the inflammatory response in the body.

IL-6:  Plays a crucial role in inflammation and regulates expression of C reactive protein (CRP).

TNF-A:  A pro-inflammatory cytokine, secreted by both macrophages and adipocytes, which has been shown to alter whole body glucose homeostasis.

SOD2:  Superoxide dismutase a potent antioxidant enzyme.
