Title: Blood, genetic and urine indicators
Post by: Christianzetterberg on August 04, 2006, 04:03:34 PM
Are there certain tests or metabolites that can be measured and used to identify who would benefit the most from detoxification upregulation.  And after starting a supplemental program could these indicators be revaluated to check for progress.

Thanks for your help!

This is all work in progress.  There are some people who are missing certain forms (isozymes or isoforms) of certain phase 2 enzymes.  Even the idea of whether these people would benefit more or less from enhanced Phase 2 enzyme activity is not totally clear and is the subject of ongoing research. The tests exist, but are not at this point suitable for such a consumer-type screening program.
