MILLIPLEX^® Rat Myokine Panel

BDNF, EPO, FGF-21, Irisin, Myostatin, and other included analytes are key myokines—signaling proteins released by muscle tissue that influence metabolism, inflammation, regeneration, and systemic physiological responses. These biomarkers are essential for studying muscle-endocrine interactions, exercise physiology, metabolic regulation, and inflammatory signaling in rodent models

MILLIPLEX^® Qualified assays undergo rigorous assay development, verification, and Quality Control testing to achieve optimal performance. Simultaneously analyze up to 12 analytes in rat serum, plasma, or cell culture supernatants.

Analytes Included: BDNF, Erythropoietin (EPO), FGF-21, FSTL1, Fractalkine/CX3CL1, IL-6, IL-15, Irisin, LIF, Myostatin/GDF8, Osteocrin (OSTN)/Musclin, Osteonectin/SPARC
Note: Substantial amounts of BDNF are stored in circulating platelets and subsequently released upon platelet activation. Therefore, platelet-poor plasma is critical to ensure accurate measurement of circulating levels of BDNF.

Assay Characteristics: Refer to the assay protocol for details on cross-reactivity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy.

Features:

• Measures 12 muscle-derived biomarkers in one assay
• Suitable for serum, plasma, and tissue lysates
• High sensitivity and specificity for low-abundance myokines
• Multiplex format reduces sample volume and assay time

Benefits:

• Enables comprehensive profiling of muscle-secreted factors
• Supports research in metabolism, inflammation, and exercise biology
• Saves time and resources compared to single-analyte assays
• Provides reliable data for rodent model studies
