The OAT measures 76 analytes. The test report is broken down into the following categories: - Gastrointestinal Fungal and Bacterial Overgrowth measures analytes indicative of yeast, bacterial, and Clostridia overgrowth.
- Oxalate Formation and Mitochondrial Function comprehensively overview oxalic acid levels, cellular metabolic function, and nutritional status.
- Neurotransmitter Status measures organic acids produced in the metabolic pathways involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and breakdown, commonly implicated in mood and stress disorders.
- Nutritional Profile gives insight into the nutrient status of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids required for healthy cellular metabolism.
- Detoxification Markers assess antioxidant status and screen for toxic overload.
THE OAT TEST REPORT IS ORGANIZED INTO CLINICALLY USEFUL CATEGORIES INCLUDING:
Intestinal Microbial Overgrowth Markers: Evaluates for Candida activity, Clostridia bacteria toxins, potential mold exposure, and imbalances in gut microflora.
Oxalate Metabolites: Provides insights into the levels of oxalates, which could be generated by organisms within the system or through dietary intake.
Glycolytic Cycle Metabolites and Mitochondrial Markers: Includes Krebs Cycle and Amino Acid Metabolites. Assesses metabolic efficiency, such as the use of glucose and amino acids for energy generation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
Neurotransmitter Metabolites: Evaluates the metabolism of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. These are linked to neurotransmitter status and quinolinic acid production.
Pyrimidine Metabolites & Ketone and Fatty Acid Oxidation Markers: Provides insights into folate status and cellular turnover. Assesses mitochondrial utilization of fatty acids for energy production.
Nutritional Markers: Offers insights into the sufficiency of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and metabolic pathway co-factors.
Indicators of Detoxification: Assesses the presence of oxidative stress through markers of glutathione sufficiency. Evaluates methylation versus transsulfuration functions.
