Welcome to the Gaikwad Steoidomics Laboratory (GSL). In humans many physiological processes are controlled by steroids, including reproduction, cardiovascular health and neurological functions. Although steroids play a broad and vital role in human physiology, they are also implicated in the development and/or progression of many diseases, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease and obesity. Present evidence shows the involvement of many steroids such as estrogens, testosterone, bile acids, oxysterols, etc. in disease processes. Furthermore, oxidative metabolism of steroids can cause cancer, neurodegenerative and other diseases. Hence, balanced steroid levels are vital to health.
How GSL can help you:
1. Detect and measure the target steroid(s) of any class in any given bio-specimens.
2. Custom develop tandem mass spectrometry based metabolomics platform for target analytes.
3. Custom synthesize Steroid Adducts and Conjugates.
4. Steroids Assay Kits for Research (New).
