Metabolism and energy

Energy metabolism: a central process in living organisms

Energy metabolism is a fundamental process in living organisms that enables the conversion of nutrients into energy. This energy is mainly stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy carrier of the cell.

Energy metabolism is not only crucial for maintaining basic cell functions, but also plays an important role in physical activity, growth and regeneration. Disruptions in energy metabolism can lead to various diseases, such as diabetes or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and play an important role in weight management and the functionality of the muscular system.

We offer in vitro tests that can help in the screening of new active substances:

• Glucose uptake assay
• GLP-1 release
• AMPK activation assay
• cAMP Assay
• Calcium influx
• Muscle cell proliferation
