Let’s explore “Vitamin B1, whole blood TDP — lab reference”

NOS3 encodes endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which helps blood vessels generate nitric oxide, a signal involved in vascular relaxation. This pathway is distinct from a blood pressure measurement or a diagnosis of vascular disease.

SERPINE1 makes PAI-1, a protein involved in breaking down blood clots. You may also see PAI4G used for this pathway.

TCN2 helps carry vitamin B12 in the body. A gene result alone cannot tell you your B12 status.

VKORC1 encodes vitamin K epoxide reductase, part of the vitamin K recycling system used in activating clotting proteins. It is not simply a vitamin K receptor.

ALPL encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme important to bone and tooth mineralization and vitamin B6 metabolism. Persistently low alkaline phosphatase can deserve a different evaluation from a general nutrient deficiency.

GSTO2 encodes glutathione S-transferase omega 2, a redox enzyme with dehydroascorbate reductase activity that connects glutathione chemistry with vitamin C recycling. It is a separate gene from GSTO1.

IL6R encodes the interleukin-6 receptor. Membrane-bound and soluble receptor pathways help explain why IL-6 biology involves more than the amount of cytokine in a single blood sample.

PURSER WELLNESSUsing the NCC Formula From the reading room

This is the BEST way to look at what your Copper is really doing. Is it getting into the cells, or building up in other places? Let’s see! Non-Ceruloplasmin Copper Calculator Calculate NCC in Seconds Enter zinc, copper, and ceruloplasmin exactly as they appear on a lab report. The calculator converts units, calculates the copper:zinc ratio, and highlights the percent of non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper. Lab Inputs Use the unit dropdowns to match the lab report. The app normalizes everything to µg/dL before calculating. Zinc Required for copper:zinc ratio Total Copper Required for all NCC calcula
