PORPHYRINS PROFILE – Great Plains Lab
PORPHYRINS PROFILE
Porphyrins are generated as the body builds hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in blood cells. Porphyrin (from the Greek word for purple) is made up of four ring compounds joined together, a structure conducive to holding a metal ion in its center, iron in the heme porphyrin of hemoglobin and magnesium in chlorophyll. Small amounts of several porphyrins appear in urine normally. The relative amounts of each porphyrin are altered by certain hereditary diseases and by environmental or nutritional influences. The classic cases of hereditary porphyria displayed highly colored urine and skin eruptions and neurological symptoms of mania and “madness.”$345.00 -
Pregnenalone
$97.00 Add to cart
Pregnenalone
This blood test measures Pregnenalone levels. Pregnenalone is produced by the adrenal glands and is known as the mother hormone because other steroids including testosterone and estrogen are derivatives of Pregnenalone. For this reason, optimal blood levels of pregnenolone are critical for a healthy hormone balance.

Reverse Triiodothyronine (rT3)
This blood test measures levels of Reverse T3 (rT3). A Reverse Triiodothyronine (rT3) is a thyroid hormone that disrupts the activity of the active the form of thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine (T3). When thyroid hormone is functioning properly, thyroxine (T4) is converted to the active hormone (T3).

Selenium (Blood)
This blood test measures selenium levels. Selenium is an essential trace element. It is widely recognized as a key nutrient in cancer prevention and is a crucial cofactor for the conversion of T4 to T3 in healthy thyroid function. Selenium protects genes from inflammatory disease processes such as dementia, stroke, heart disease, diabetes and asthma. Selenium plays a crucial role by helping the body detoxify naturally from heavy metals such as cadmium. Cigarettes are a significant source of cadmium exposure worldwide. Cadmium has been found in toxic levels in fertilizers, pesticides and PVC plastics. Cadmium toxicity affects the lungs, brain, kidneys and bones and may lead to problems such as fatigue, confusion, depression and cardiac arrhythmias.

Thyroid Antibodies: Combined Ab & TPO
This blood test is a combination test used to evaluate both, Thyroid Autoantibodies (TAA) and Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO ab). Thyroid autoantibody (TAA) is a test that helps to determine if an autoimmune process is manifesting in the thyroid system. Autoantibodies to thyroglobulin (thyroid hormone) may lead to the destruction of the thyroid gland.

Thyroid Basic Panel
The Thyroid Basic Panel includes a TSH, T4, FT3 and a FT4. This group of individual tests was strategically constructed in order to review a broader perspective of thyroid function. The conventional review of thyroid function is usually based on a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level alone.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
This blood test measures Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) or thyrotropin levels. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is the most common and sensitive marker of thyroid function. It is a hormone that is secreted by the pituitary gland to stimulate thyroid activity.
