The energy patterns of more neurotransmitters, enzymes, body proteins, weight control hormones, etc. 25 vials.

BB26 Acetone / Dimethyl ketone / 2-propanone / Beta-ketopropane
Produced primarily during excessive fat metabolism, although some levels present in virtually every organ and tissue, and the blood contains some acetone; occurs naturally in plants, trees, volcanic gases and forest fires. Present in vehicle exhaust, tobacco smoke, and landfill sites; also manufactured and used widely in industry as a solvent in paints and lacquers and for cellulose plastics.

BB27 Adenosine
Affects central nervous system and peripheral nervous system; constituent of ATP and ADP; may be involved with asthma; stimulatory effect of tea and coffee because inhibit adenosine.

BB28 Adenylate Cyclase
Converts ATP into cAMP2 within the cell.

BB29 Albumin/Albumen
Produced by liver; most abundant (54%) and smallest of plasma proteins; regulates osmotic pressure of plasma and therefore fluid retention; carrier for metals, ions, fatty acids, amino acids, bilirubin2, enzymes and drugs – prevents them being filtered out by the kidneys and excreted in urine.

BB30 Antithrombin III
Blocks action of clotting agents (factors XII, XI, IX, X and II).

BB31 Atrial Natriuretic Peptide /ANP/ Atriopeptin
Produced in upper chambers of heart; increases excretion of sodium in urine; increases urine output and decreases blood volume; causes blood vessels to dilate; inhibits aldosterone1 production and lowers blood pressure; children with congenital heart disease have high levels of ANP.

BB32 Calcitriol
Aids in absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus; secreted by kidneys; it is the active hormonal form of vitamin D

BB33 Cortisol/
Hydrocortisone hormone the principal glucocorticoid1; increases blood glucose levels by increasing cellular utilization of proteins and fats as energy sources thus conserving glucose; stimulates liver cells to produce glucose from amino acids and fats; secretion controlled by ACTH1 from anterior pituitary; counteracts the inflammatory response also used as a drug for inflammatory or allergic conditions

BB34 Endothelin-1
Found in brain, intestines, kidneys and heart; most potent vasoconstrictor known; regulates salt transport in intestine; may be implicated in migraine; increased levels in diabetic and non-diabetic coronary artery disease; increased levels in micro-vascular angina.

BB35 ß-Estradiol/17ß-Estradiol
Synthesized from cholesterol in ovaries; predominant oestrogen hormone in non-pregnant women; promotes development and maintenance of female reproductive structures; increases protein anabolism; lowers blood cholesterol; moderate levels inhibit release of the hormones GnRH, FSH1 and LH1.

BB36 Estriol
One of the oestrogen hormones; promotes development and maintenance of female reproductive structures; increases protein anabolism; lowers blood cholesterol; moderate levels inhibit release of the hormones GnRH, FSH1 and LH1.

BB37 Estrone
One of the oestrogen hormones; promotes development and maintenance of female reproductive structures; increases protein anabolism; lowers blood cholesterol; moderate levels inhibit release of the hormones GnRH, FSH1 and LH1.

BB38 Gamma-aminobutyrate acid/GABA
Most widely distributed inhibitory neurotransmitter; blocks noradrenaline1 and dopamine2; deficiencies found in hypertension and seizures; a target for anti-anxiety drugs.

BB39 Gamma Globulin
Approximately 38% of blood plasma proteins; carrier for antibodies and so has a role in infection and allergies given as an injection to prevent viral hepatitis.

BB40 Glucagon
Raises blood sugar levels by accelerating breakdown of glycogen into glucose in the liver, converting other nutrients into glucose in the liver, and releasing glucose into the blood – opposes the action of insulin1; may stimulate the secretion of water and electrolytes by the mucosa of small intestine given by injection in the emergency treatment of people with diabetes mellitus who are unconscious as a result of hypoglycaemia.

BB41 Glutamic Acid/ Glutamate
Can be manufactured by the body; precursor of proline, ornithine3, arginine3 and polyamines; a stimulatory neurotransmitter; can be converted in body into GABA; nearly all excitatory neurons in the CNS and possibly half of the synapses in the brain communicate via glutamate; visual adaptation to light and dark; many epileptics have increased levels of glutamic acid; part of the acute reaction to withdrawal from drug addiction includes increase production of glutamate.

BB42 Glycine
Can be synthesized from other amino acids (serine and threonine3); acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter; assists in manufacture of DNA, glycerol, phospholipids, collagen, glutathione3 and cholesterol2 conjugates; essential for one of key liver detoxification pathways; stimulates secretion of glucagons; in spinal cord (inhibitory action) and in retina; Parkinson’s disease; low levels often found in manic-depressives and epileptics; people with motor neurone disease may have impaired glycine metabolism.

BB43 Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRP)
Secreted by hypothalamus; stimulates release of LH1 and FSH1.

BB44 Leptin
Released by fat cells as they synthesize triglycerides; reduces appetite; believed to inhibit neuropeptide Y; role in central control of bone mass and so possibly osteoporosis; onset of puberty; believed to have an immune system role through support of helper T cells non-insulin dependent diabetes, high blood pressure

BB45 Neuropeptide Y
Present in many parts of the brain and autonomic nervous system; enhances effect of norepinephrine1; stimulates appetite; causes increased storage of ingested food as fat; regulation of circadian rhythms, sexual functioning, anxiety and stress response, peripheral vascular resistance and contractility of heart; reduces energy expenditure: high circulating levels with severe exercise a gene in roundworms (closely related to the neuropeptide Y receptor gene in humans) increases social contact and interaction; research is being carried out to produce a drug for epilepsy based on this.

BB46 Neurotensin
Release stimulated by fatty acids; inhibits gastrointestinal motility and increases ileal blood flow; regulation of LH1 and prolactin1; blocks stimulation of acid and pepsin by the vagus nerve low levels may be involved in schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease.

BB47 Somatostatin
This was inadvertently included twice in two different test kits; it has now been removed from this kit and can be found in the hormone kit (H13).

BB47a Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase / PTP1B
Inhibits signaling of leptin and insulin1; may explain resistance to leptin and insulin likely to be important in obesity and type 2 diabetes; drug research now being carried out to find drugs to inhibit PTP1B.

BB48 Thyroxine/Tetraiodothyronine/T4
Converted into T31; growth and normal development; increase rate at which cells release energy from carbohydrates; enhance protein synthesis; stimulate nervous system.

BB49 3,3’,5’-Triiodothyronine/ Reverse T3
Reverse T3 and T31 are secreted in an inverse relationship allowing the thyroid to adjust the amount of thyroid activity; blocks the action of T31 by binding with the receptor sites acute and chronic diseases and malnutrition also shift the T31 balance to Reverse T3.

BB50 Val-Pro- Asp-Pro-Arg
Appetite suppressant in rats.
