Equine Leptin (LEP) ELISA Kit

Quantify circulating leptin in horse-derived samples with this equine-specific immunoassay from Assay Genie. Leptin is a 16 kDa peptide hormone secreted primarily by white adipose tissue that acts as a long-term adiposity signal, regulating appetite, energy expenditure, and reproductive function. In horses, circulating leptin concentrations correlate with body condition score, fat deposition, and metabolic health, making this assay a valuable tool for veterinary endocrinology and equine nutrition research.

Common research applications include studies of equine metabolic syndrome, obesity-related insulin dysregulation, seasonal breeding cycles, and the metabolic demands of athletic training. The Assay Genie kit is supplied with pre-coated microplate wells, lyophilized recombinant standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, substrate solution, and a complete standard protocol. Researchers can process up to 96 individual determinations per plate using standard microplate equipment, with results read as a colorimetric signal on a conventional plate reader.

Store kit components refrigerated between uses and protect reagents from repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain consistent performance across runs. The assay is intended for research use only and supports both academic and commercial laboratory investigations into equine metabolic, reproductive, and exercise physiology.
