LAS VEGAS—Joseph L. Evans, Ph.D., manager, pharmacology, for Stratum Nutrition and a Novus Research Fellow, will present an education session, “Cardiovascular Disease Predictors and Biomarkers," on Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 3 to 3:50 p.m. at SupplySide West.
During this session, Evans will review what defines a biological marker; types of biomarkers including natural history markers, drug activity markers and surrogate markers; why biomarkers are used; and select cardiovascular biomarkers and how they are indicators of arterial vulnerability including Apo B, homocysteine, hsCRP, Lp(a), ADMA (asymmetric dimethyl arginine) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Attendees will walk away with a strong understanding of emerging cardiovascular biomarkers, the increasingly important role they play in identifying those at risk for cardiovascular disease and the potential for using biomarkers to support product claims.
Additionally, Stratum Nutrition and ESM Technologies will be host author Bill Gottlieb at their booth on Wednesday, Oct. 12 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Gottlieb will be signing his most recent book, “Breakthroughs in Natural Healing." The first 50 visitors will receive a free book.
