Apolipoprotein A-1
Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A-1) is the primary protein associated with HDL cholesterol. Apo A-1 serves as an activator of LCAT which is involved in the transport of cholesterol to the liver where it is degraded. Like HDL cholesterol, increased concentrations are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Apo A-1 has been suggested as better discrimination of CAD than HDL.

Apolipoprotein B
Apolipoprotein B (APO B) can help determine your risk of heart disease and some studies suggest it may even be a better predictor than the commonly-measured LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol). In some patients with Coronary artery disease (CAD), APO B is elevated even in the presence of normal LDL cholesterol.

C-Reactive Protein, Cardiac
The hs-CRP blood test is used to diagnose your risk for inflammation and cardiovascular disease. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein released in the blood during inflammation. As this protein is a marker of inflammation, it is elevated in the blood when there are inflammatory conditions, cancer, infections, or even heart disease present. One should not confuse standard CRP test with hs-CRP test. hs-CRP test more precisely detects the lower levels of the protein than that measured by the standard CRP test . A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test, can also be used to assess your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a disorder in which the blood arteries of your heart are narrowed. Coronary artery disease can become a reason for a heart attack.

Coenzyme Q10, Total
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat soluble cofacter that is essential for energy producing metabolic pathways and for the proper functioning of the mitochondrial oxidative system. With insufficient CoQ10, the electron transfer activity of the mitochondria decreases, resulting in a net failure to produce the energy necessary to run the cell. Tissues with high energy demand have even greater demands for CoQ10. For example, heart muscle, which continually exerts a pumping action for an entire lifetime, has an immense need for the cofactor. Studies demonstrate the effectiveness of supplemental coenzyme Q10 in cardiomyopathy, myocardial dysfunction, and congestive heart failure. CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant like vitamins E and C, and thus serves the role of neutralizing excess free radicals. It is now well established that the control of excessive free radical activity is key in preventing/delaying the progression of degenerative diseases.

Complete Blood Count (CBC) With Differential
A complete blood count is a common blood test that is often part of a routine checkup. Complete blood counts can help detect a variety of disorders including infections, anemia, diseases of the immune system, and blood cancers.

Copper, RBC and Plasma
Copper is an essential element that is a cofactor of many enzymes. Copper metabolism is disturbed in Wilson's disease, Menkes disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, and Indian childhood cirrhosis. Copper concentrations increase in acute phase reactions. Copper concentrations are decreased with nephrosis, malabsorption, and malnutrition. Copper concentrations are also useful to monitor patients, especially preterm newborns, on nutritional supplementation. Results of copper are often interpreted together with ceruloplasmin.

DHEA-Sulfate
The DHEA-s Blood Test, also known as the Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate test, is performed to assess adrenal gland function. It measures DHEA-s, a steroid hormone that is produced by the adrenal gland, and serves as a building block for the male sex hormone testosterone and the female sex hormone estrogen. This test is helpful in assessing adrenal tumors or cancers, determining the cause of masculinization among females, and identifying the cause of early puberty in boys.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (Endocrine Sciences)
The DHT test measures the level of dihydrotestosterone, a potent male hormone, in the blood. Produced from testosterone in men and derived from androstenedione in women, DHT is crucial for male physical traits like body hair and muscle growth. Doctors might order this test to diagnose male pattern baldness, assess 5α-reductase deficiency, or monitor prostate cancer patients on DHT-blocking medications.

Estradiol, Sensitive, LC / MS
The Ultrasensitive Estradiol LC/MS/MS test evaluates the amount of estradiol (E2), the most active estrogen, in the blood. Produced mainly in the ovaries, estradiol also originates in the brain, fat cells, and other areas, playing roles in reproduction, brain function, and bone health, among others. While most estradiol in the blood is protein-bound, only about 1% is unbound and biologically active. Most tests measure the bound estradiol due to the challenge of assessing free estradiol levels.

Ferritin
Ferritin is the major protein found in the blood cells that stores iron. The Ferritin Blood test is used to check the iron levels in the body and may help diagnose various health conditions like iron-deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis (a condition where the body produces too much iron). Low ferritin levels in the blood show the presence of iron deficiency (anemia) in the body. The body requires iron to make hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that helps transport oxygen from the lungs around the body.

Folate, RBC
Folate levels have diagnostic significance in nutritional deficiencies, especially in cases of severe alcoholism, function damage to the upper third of small bowel, pregnancy and various forms of megoblastic anemia. Since serum folate levels are subject to rapid changes reflecting diet and absorption, RBC folate may be a better diagnostic tool since the levels remain fairly constant.

Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
The FSH and LH test is a blood test that measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), two sex hormones that are essential for reproduction. These two hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and affect the ovaries and testes. The test is used to evaluate infertility issues in both sexes initially. It also helps determine the health of a person's reproductive organs, specifically the testicles and ovaries. This test also evaluates the pituitary function in the body.

Hemoglobin (Hb) A1c
The Hemoglobin A1c also called A1c or glycated hemoglobin is hemoglobin with glucose attached. The test is recommended by the American Diabetes Association in the assessment of blood glucose levels to determine diabetes risk. It is recommended that A1c testing should be performed routinely in all patients with diabetes. The A1c test reflects the average blood sugar over the past two to three months. Therefore, doctors advise to take the test at least twice a year and more frequently in some cases

Homocyst(e)ine
The homocysteine blood test measures the amount of homocysteine in your body. Typically, this test is used to diagnose a vitamin B6, B9, B12, or folic acid deficiency. A lack of these important vitamins increases homocysteine and can put you at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Insulin
This test measures the level of insulin in the blood and can help diagnose diabetes. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas and is essential in transporting glucose (sugar) to the cells. This test is often ordered if someone is experiencing symptoms such as sweating, palpitations, dizziness and fainting which are associated with low glucose levels; and for those diagnosed with diabetes, to monitor insulin production.

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)
Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1, or Somatomedin C), a protein involved in stimulating somatic growth, is regulated principally by Growth Hormone (GH) and nutritional intake. IGF-1 is transported in serum by several proteins; this helps maintain relatively high IGF-1 plasma levels and minimizes fluctuations in serum IGF-1 concentrations.

Interleukin-6, Serum
The IL-6 test measures the amount of Interleukin-6, a cytokine crucial for the immune system, in the blood. It plays a dual role in either promoting or inhibiting inflammation. Imbalanced IL-6 levels indicate susceptibility to infections or inflammatory conditions. Though not routine, it's used to gauge inflammation in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.
