Organic Acid Testing Offers Insights to Metabolic Pathways

The OAp™ organic acids test from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory evaluates urine metabolites to identify the flow of biochemical pathways, revealing information about each person’s unique metabolic function.

Importance of Organic Acid Testing

Organic acids are intermediate compounds in metabolic pathways. The accumulation or reduction of specific organic acids can be due to many factors such as genetics, diet, nutrient status, toxin exposures, exercise, physiologic demands, gut microbiome, disease state, and others. Additionally, alterations in organic acid concentrations have been associated with a wide range of clinical conditions and symptoms.

Using a systems-biology approach, the OAp organic acids test enables those who test to use these patterns of accumulation or reductions to identify a unique and individual biochemical picture helping to create personalized recommendations.

The OAp Test Evaluates Several Areas, Including:

Energy & Mitochondrial Processing, which offers insight into:

Glycolysis
Krebs cycle (Mitochondrial function)
Fatty acid oxidation
Carnitine demand
Ketones
Nutrition for information related to nutritional insufficiencies and:

B-Complex (vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5 and lipoic acid), vitamin B12, B6, folate, and biotin
Dietary intake: plant components and fructose intake
Stress & Mood for analysis of:

Catecholamine turnover
Serotonin turnover
Neurological inflammation
Cortisol and cortisone
Toxic Impacts for insight into the detoxification processes and assessment of:

Oxidative damage
Toxin exposure to xylene, styrene, and ethylbenzene
Glutathione status
Kidney function
Oxalate metabolism
GI Microbial Metabolites for evaluation of gut dysbiosis through analytes related to:

Tyrosine & tryptophan metabolites (protein fermentation)
Polyphenol metabolites (saccharolytic fermentation)
Glycine conjugation
Equol production
Fungal assessment
