The Enos Lab
The Enos Lab
The Enos Lab is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating sex differences in obesity, particularly with respect to metabolic and inflammatory processes. A particular emphasis is the role that sex steroids and their tissue-specific receptors have in regulating glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Additionally, the lab is interested in exploring therapies for the treatment of menopause-induced side effects, including excess fat mass accrual as well as metabolic and inflammatory perturbations. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment in order to perform metabolic phenotyping of rodent models.

purpose of the steroid Analysis lab
purpose of the steroid Analysis lab
Provide sensitive, robust, economical, and reliable sex steroid measurements for the research community in a timely manner.
We want to help move this field forward. We know that your samples are precious so we take great care in sample prep and data analysis.
Gold-Standard Approach
Gold-Standard Approach
We use LC-MS or LC-MS/MS with or without derivatization and high resolution to measure sex steroids. This provides superior sensitivity and specificity than traditional immunoassays.
Multiple Analytes
Multiple Analytes
While you may only be interested in one or two analytes, we can provide you with data for up to 16 different analytes to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying biological processes, enabling you to draw more robust conclusions and identify potential correlations or trends that may not be immediately apparent with a limited dataset.
Not Just Serum
Not Just Serum
We have had success measuring sex steroids in a number of tissues including:
Adipose Tissue
Adrenal Glands
Bone
Brain
Colon
Heart
Kidney
Liver
Lung
Ovaries
Pancreas
Serum/Plasma
Skeletal Muscle
Spleen
Uterus
