As all cellular processes require energy, understanding energy metabolism can provide powerful insights into the drivers behind cellular functions, including activation, proliferation, and differentiation. It is also known that dysfunctional metabolism is associated with many disease states, so it is a rich source for expansion of target discovery programs and can open new avenues of therapeutic intervention.
Agilent Seahorse XF Pro analyzer uses real-time label-free technology to report oxygen consumption rates, proton efflux rates and ATP production rates, which are critical measurements of energy metabolism and vital indicators of mitochondrial health, toxicity, glycolysis, and overall cellular (dys)function.
