What’s searchable?NQO1 is the gene name for NAD(P)H Quinone Oxidoreductase 1. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it. Also called: NAD(P)H Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 Quinone handling within the redox network Dr. Purser includes NQO1 i…
NR3C1 encodes the glucocorticoid receptor, which helps tissues respond to cortisol and glucocorticoid medicines. Receptor genetics and measured cortisol levels answer different questions. Also called: Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Me…
NR3C2 encodes the mineralocorticoid receptor, which responds to hormones such as aldosterone and helps regulate salt and fluid balance. It is distinct from the NR3C1 glucocorticoid receptor. Also called: Mineralocorticoid Receptor / Nuclear…
How the Purser approach moves from a nutrient finding to priorities, a manageable plan and reassessment. Also called: From a laboratory flag to a useful plan Start with your original CMA report: check its date, values, and the lab’s catego…
Follow Dr. Purser’s teaching on folate, B12, sulfur pathways and antioxidant support around homocysteine. Also called: Follow the branches around homocysteine Homocysteine sits at a junction in the pathway. Dr. Purser’s teaching follows ho…
CCL2 encodes MCP-1, a chemokine that attracts monocytes toward sites of immune activity. Recruitment is a different task from the cytokines that activate those cells once they arrive. Also called: MCP-1: recruiting monocytes CCL2 encodes M…
CETP transfers cholesteryl esters between lipoprotein particles. This helps explain why the balance of HDL and other lipid particles is more complex than a single cholesterol number. Also called: Moving cholesterol between lipoproteins CET…
HMGB1 normally has functions inside the cell nucleus. When released outside cells in particular settings, it can act as a damage-associated molecular pattern, or DAMP, participating in inflammatory signaling. Also called: A cellular protei…
IL16 encodes interleukin-16, a cytokine involved in attracting and influencing immune cells, including CD4-expressing cells. Its recruitment role helps separate it from other numbered interleukins. Also called: A cytokine involved in immun…
Explore interleukin-1 beta, NLRP3, inflammasome activation, caspase-1, inflammatory conditions, and treatment research. Understand the connection IL-1 beta, or IL1B, is an inflammatory cytokine that is activated through processes including…
Explore NASH, liver cirrhosis, oxidative stress, and treatment research. Understand the connection IL-6 signaling intersects with metabolism, insulin resistance, and inflammatory responses in the liver. Fatty liver disease can progress to …
Explore interleukin-8, neutrophils, CXCR1, CXCR2, and immune-cell recruitment. Understand the connection IL-8, also called CXCL8, helps attract neutrophils through receptors including CXCR1 and CXCR2. It is a chemokine, a signal that guide…
