Total Antioxidant Function

Spectrox

A Spectrox value above 65%-indicates a desirable status for apparently healthy individuals.Since antioxidants are protective nutrients, the most desiredstatus would be the greatest ability to resist oxidative stress.

A Spectrox value between 40% and 65%-indicates an average antioxidant function for apparentlyhealthy individuals. An average status means the abilityto resist oxidative stress similar to the majority of persons.However, average status is not ideal, nor is it clearly deficient.

A Spectrox value below 40%-indicates a deficient antioxidant functionresulting in a decreased ability to resist oxidative stressor an increased antioxidant load.

Immunidex

The Immunidex is an indication of the patient's T-Lymphoproliferative response to mitogen stimulation relative to the response of a control population. An average or weakened immune response may improve with correction of the nutritional deficiencies determined by the micronutrient testing.

An Immunidex above 65% - indicates a strongresponse, a measurement of cell-mediatedimmune function.

An Immunidex between 40% and 65% - indicates an average response.

An Immunidex below 40% - may indicate aweakened cell mediated immune response.

OVERVIEW OF TEST PROCEDURE1. A mixture of lymphocytes is isolated from the blood.2. These cells are grown in a defined culture medium containing optimal levels of all essential. nutrients necessary to sustain their growth in cell culture.3. The T-lymphocytes are stimulated to grow with a mitogen (phytohemagglutinin) and growth is measured by the incorporation of tritiated (radioactive) thymidine into the DNA of the cells.

The growth response under optimal conditions is defined as 100%, and all other growth rates arecompared to this 100% level of growth.

For example – we remove vitamin B6 from the medium and stimulate the cells to grow by mitogenstimulation. Growth is measured by DNA synthesis and the rate of growth is dependent only upon thefunctional level of vitamin B6 available within the cells to support growth. For Vitamin B6 a growth rate of at least 55% of the growth rate observed in the optimal (100%) media is considered normal. Results lessthan 55% are considered to indicate a functional deficiency for Vitamin B6. Each nutrient has a differentreference range that was established by assaying thousands of apparently healthy individuals.

BREAKING DOWN THE REPORT1. TEST RESULT (% CONTROL)This column represents the patient’s growth response in the test media measured by DNAsynthesis as compared to the optimal growth observed in the 100% media.

2. FUNCTIONAL ABNORMALSAn interpretation is provided for those nutrients found to be deficient.

3. REFERENCE RANGEThis column represents how this patient’s result compares to thousands of patients previouslytested. A patient’s result is considered deficient when it is less than the referencerange.

4. GRAPHSThe abnormal range of results is noted in the blue area. Abnormal results are indicated in red. Thegray cross hatch area is a representation of the range of test results found in a random selection ofsubjects.

SPECTROX® – TOTAL ANTIOXIDANT FUNCTIONSPECTROX® is a measurement of overall antioxidant function. The patient’s cells are grown in theoptimal media, stimulated to grow, and then increasing amounts of a free radical generatingsystem (H2O2) are added. The cell’s ability to resist oxidative damage is determined. Theincreasing levels of peroxide will result in diminished growth rates in those patients with poorantioxidant function capacity.

INDIVIDUAL ANTIOXIDANT LEVELSIn the tests for individual antioxidants, it is determined which specific antioxidants may be deficientand thus affecting the SPECTROX® antioxidant function result. For these tests, the patient’s cellsare preincubated with one of the nutrient antioxidants, i.e. selenium, and then the Spectrox® test isrepeated to determine if the addition of selenium improves the patient’s antioxidant function. Thisprocess is repeated for each individual antioxidant.

Antioxidants tested with this process:Glutathione, Cysteine, Coenzyme-Q10, Selenium, Vitamin E, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Vitamin C.

Repletion Suggestions

1. Oleic Acid 2-3 tbsp olive oil daily for repletion of Oleic Acid. Deficiency of OleicAcid suggests impaired synthesis of unsaturated long chain fatty acids.Take 600 mg b.i.d. (1.2 grams daily) of EPA and DHA in Omega-3 FattyAcids.

2. Vitamin K2 100 mcg vitamin K1 (K2 precursor) daily

Please note: Supplementation is usually required for four to six months to effect the repletion of a functionaldeficiency in lymphocytes

Suggestions for supplementation with specific micronutrients must be evaluated and approved by the attending physician.This decision should be based upon the clinical condition of the patient and the evaluation of the effects ofsupplementation on current treatment and medication of the patient.
