Fertility Panel
Comprehensive Fertility Insights
Assesses key reproductive hormones via saliva to inform fertility-focused research.
17β-estradiol
Primary female sex hormone regulating estrous and menstrual cycles, reproductive tissues, and bone health; also present at lower levels in men.
Progesterone
Essential for embryogenesis, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and neurosteroid roles; imbalances impact fertility, cycles, and metabolic balance with estrogen.
17α-Hydroxyprogesterone
Progesterone-derived progestogen and cortisol precursor from adrenal glands and corpus luteum; useful in CAH screening and monitoring.
Testosterone
Androgen produced primarily by testicles (males) and ovaries/adrenals (females); elevations in females can indicate PCOS, tumors, or CAH.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Endogenous steroid from adrenals, gonads, brain; key intermediate for androgen and estrogen synthesis and most abundant circulating steroid.
DHEAS
Sulfate ester of DHEA with stable, diurnal-free levels (~300× free DHEA); preferred measurement for consistency; formed via first-pass metabolism.
Steroid Panel
Profiles for Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Supports research on PCOS, congenital hyperplasia, or premature adrenarche via salivary steroid analysis.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Endogenous steroid precursor for androgen and estrogen synthesis; abundant in circulation; produced by adrenals, gonads, and brain.
DHEAS
Stable sulfate ester of DHEA without diurnal variation; preferred measurement for consistency; formed during first-pass metabolism.
Testosterone
Androgen from testicles, ovaries, and adrenals; elevated levels in females may indicate PCOS, tumors, or CAH.
Progesterone
Key progestogen for embryogenesis, cycles, pregnancy, neurosteroid roles, and steroidogenesis.
17β-estradiol
Primary female sex hormone regulating cycles and reproductive tissues; essential bone and reproductive functions.
Stress / Fatigue Panel
Markers for Energy & Immune Health
Measures salivary factors relevant to chronic or recurring energy and immune challenges.
Cortisol
Adrenal steroid regulating metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates; released in response to stress and low blood-glucose; modulates immune response.
Interleukin 1 beta (IL1β)
Cytokine mediating inflammatory responses; produced by activated macrophages and involved in proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and inflammatory pain hypersensitivity.
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)
Cytokine central to acute-phase inflammation; regulates immune cells, can trigger inflammation, apoptosis, cachexia, and impacts tumorigenesis and viral replication.
Immunoglobulin A (IgA)
Antibody critical to mucosal immunity; most abundantly produced antibody in the body.
DHEAS
Stable sulfate form of DHEA with high circulating levels; preferred for measurement due to lack of diurnal variation.
