Lee Biosolutions Inc, a U.S. manufacture of high purity finished proteins has increased production capacity for important enzymes used in liver function blood tests worldwide. The St. Louis-based healthcare- biotechnology firm has been able to keep up with demand for aminotransferase enzymes by increasing yields through newly developed purification methodologies.

The liver is not only the largest organ but the largest gland in the human body which plays an important role by filtering and processing blood as it circulates through the body. The functions of the liver include detoxification of your blood, production of important clotting factors and other proteins, processing nutrients, waste products of hemoglobin and storing vitamins, cholesterol and bile while also producing glucose. The cells in the liver contain proteins called enzymes that drive these chemical reactions. When the liver cells are damaged or destroyed, the enzymes in the cells leak out to the blood where they can be measured by blood tests. The liver function tests include measuring two main enzymes, Aspartate Aminotransferase called AST (GOT) and Alanine Aminotransferase ALT (SGPT) which when elevated is a strong sign of liver damage or disease.

According to Burton Lee, President of Lee Biosolutions, “The enzymes that are produced for liver function tests are actually isolated from porcine and bovine sources at our facility in St. Louis. Our production chemists process literally thousands of kgs of high quality tissue from USDA slaughter houses at a time in order to isolate and purify just a few hundred grams of a single enzyme. Careful monitoring of critical points in the process is needed to insure a stable high quality product. Our finished enzymes are then purchased under strict specifications by major IVD companies such as Bio-Rad Laboratories who produce the reagents and blood tests for hospitals to aid in the diagnoses if someone has alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, and acute or chronic liver injury. Its very satisfying to know the products that you produce are helping save lives."

Lee’s cholesterol products, Low Density Lipoprotein and High Density Lipoproteins are carefully isolated from human plasma and are supplied to international diagnostic companies to produce quality diagnostic tests for Cholesterol ,HDL,LDL and Triglycerides. As a result, Lee has hired additional scientists to meet global market demand.

Burton Lee , President of Lee Biosolutions says, Cholesterol itself is not a problem but its when you have high levels of cholesterol and LDL is when you run into trouble. Too many people think of cholesterol as something bad but in actuality you need cholesterol for the synthesis of vitamin D and hormones in your body. Cholesterol is needed to help with fat absorption molecules by converting to bile in your digestive tract. One way to manage your health is to get a lipid profile test and that’s where we come in. We are the supplier of these analytes that go into these blood tests. We also see another promising set of biomarkers that will be very popular for heart disease management and they are Pro-BNP and NT-proBNP which we are offering . “

Lee BioSolutions Inc, an international manufacturer, producer and supplier of high purity proteins and antigens announces that it will supply high purity Hemoglobin A1C to the Diabetes Market. Hemoglobin A1C is isolated from Red Blood cells and is used as an indicator of blood glucose in a diabetic patient. The A1C test is an important test in the diagnosis and management of diabetes.

According to the World Health Organization there are over 350 million people who have diabetes worldwide. Current news reports say that 50% of individuals living in the United States are either pre-diabetic or diabetic.

Lee Biosolutions recognizes the growing diabetes market and is committed in providing the highest quality Hemoglobin A1C protein and is working closely with major diagnostic companies to meet demand of this highly desirable indicator. . In addition to isolating A1C from red blood cells, Lee Biosolutions is also providing prediabetic, diabetic Type 1 and diabetic Type 2 urine from donors.

“Lee Biosolutions is on the forefront of Diabetes research by supplying highly purified markers such as Hemoglobin A1C,“ said Burton Lee, President of Lee Biosolutions . “ What is unique about this test is that patients do not need to fast as with the common fasting plasma glucose test. Since HbA1C builds up in red blood cells throughout the lifetime of diabetic patients, its levels represent an excellent record of blood glucose levels over the previous 2-3 months. We are happy to be a part of early diagnosis of a disease that is so common but is taken so much for granted.“
