Tests
The determination of the ratio of alpha-tocopherol compared with the total vitamin E in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
Indicators
The orally bioavailable alpha form of the naturally-occurring fat-soluble vitamin E, with potent antioxidant and cytoprotective activities. Upon administration, alpha-tocopherol neutralizes free radicals, thereby protecting tissues and organs from oxidative damage. Alpha-tocopherol gets incorporated into biological membranes, prevents protein oxidation and inhibits lipid peroxidation, thereby maintaining cell membrane integrity and protecting the cell against damage. In addition, alpha-tocopherol inhibits the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) and PKC-mediated pathways. Alpha-tocopherol also modulates the expression of various genes, plays a key role in neurological function, inhibits platelet aggregation and enhances vasodilation. Compared with other forms of tocopherol, alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active form and is the form that is preferentially absorbed and retained in the body.

Tests
A calcium blood test measures the amount of calcium in your blood. Too much or too little calcium in your blood may be a sign of a wide range of medical conditions, such as bone disease , thyroid diseas e, parathyroid disorders , kidney disease , and other conditions.
Tests
A calcium in urine test measures the amount of calcium in your urine (pee). If your urine calcium levels aren't normal, it may be a sign of kidney disease , a parathyroid disorder , bone diseas e, or another condition that affects how your body uses calcium.
Glossary Term
Enzymatic (e.g. dUTP/UNG) and physical measures that stop amplified DNA from contaminating later runs. Labs with high daily volumes usually require dUTP/UNG chemistry in purchased assays; confirm this when comparing kits from different manufacturers.
