Rat Ghrelin PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0132)

Quantitative measurement of ghrelin, the orexigenic peptide hormone implicated in appetite regulation and energy homeostasis, can be performed in rat samples using this competitive immunoassay from Assay Genie. The kit produces a colorimetric readout and is configured to accommodate both serum and cell culture supernatant specimens, supporting in vivo feeding studies and in vitro cell-based models of hormone secretion.

Each microplate-format kit supplies pre-coated wells and all reagents needed to carry out 96 individual determinations per run. The competitive format works by allowing native ghrelin in the specimen to compete with a labeled conjugate for antibody binding sites, an approach matched to small peptide analytes. Investigators working on metabolic disease, obesity, bariatric interventions, or neuroendocrine signaling can use this kit to track circulating ghrelin across experimental conditions such as fasting and refeeding cycles, gastric bypass surgery, or pharmacological modulation of the ghrelin axis.

For research use only. Reagents should be stored according to the package insert, with refrigerated handling between uses to preserve reagent integrity across multiple experimental runs.
