OLIMP CDL introduces a new genetic panel, "Nutrigenetics" (SNP-Express), designed to identify genetic characteristics associated with metabolism, eating behavior, and the body's individual response to nutrition and physical activity.
The study includes analysis of polymorphisms in the following genes:
- PPARG
- ADRB2
- ADRB3
- FABP2
The results help assess genetically determined metabolic features and may be used to develop personalized recommendations on nutrition and lifestyle.
What does the study evaluate ?
The genes included in the panel are involved in regulating important metabolic processes:
- fat and carbohydrate metabolism;
- energy metabolism;
- tissue sensitivity to insulin;
- accumulation and mobilization of adipose tissue;
- absorption and transport of fatty acids.
The analysis helps identify individual characteristics that may influence body weight, eating habits, and the effectiveness of various lifestyle modification strategies.
Who may benefit from this test ?
- patients with overweight and obesity;
- individuals seeking a personalized approach to nutrition;
- patients with metabolic syndrome;
- individuals with insulin resistance;
- patients with lipid metabolism disorders;
- specialists involved in preventive and personalized medicine;
- anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of their body's unique characteristics.
Advantages of the study
- The test is performed only once in a lifetime.
- Buccal swab samples (cells from the inner cheek) are used for analysis.
- Painless and non-invasive sample collection.
- No blood draw is required.
- Provides information about genetically determined metabolic characteristics.
- Facilitates the development of personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
Preparation for the test
A buccal swab is used for the study.
Before sample collection, it is recommended to:
- avoid eating for 30-60 minutes prior to the procedure;
- avoid drinking beverages other than water;
- avoid chewing gum;
- refrain from smoking;
- rinse the mouth with clean water before sample collection.
Important
The "Nutrigenetics" panel is not intended for the diagnosis of diseases and does not replace consultation with a healthcare professional. The test results serve as an additional tool for assessing individual genetic characteristics and developing personalized lifestyle and nutritional recommendations.
OLIMP CDL continues to implement modern genetic technologies, expanding the possibilities of personalized medicine and preventive healthcare.
