Metabolic Syndrome Chemistry -- Brand New!
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Having just one of these conditions — increased blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, excess body fat around the waist or abnormal cholesterol levels — contributes to your risk of serious disease. In combination, your risk is even greater. The American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommend that the metabolic syndrome be identified as the presence of three or more of these components:
DEVELOPMENT OF A METABOLIC SYNDROME PANEL TEST STRIP The reason CardioChek decided to develop this product (Metabolic Syndrome Panel) was quite simple.
