Mercodia是来自瑞典的专注于糖尿病及心血管疾病研究工具的公司,位于瑞典生物技术产业中心Uppsala市。
Mercodia公司规模不大,产品种类也不多,但完全专注于自己的领域,在人和实验动物的胰岛素、胰岛素前体、C肽、低密度脂蛋白及脂瘦素的检测方面全球领先。

瑞典Mercodia是第一家、也是唯一一家成功开发氧化型LDL (oxidized LDL) ELISA诊断试剂盒的生产商。氧化型LDL是血管动脉硬化症的独特标志物。目前世界心血管疾病研究成果认为:脂蛋白的氧化是动脉硬化早期的重要环节,而氧化型LDL在加速动脉硬化方面起多种关键作用。
冠心病人往往其血液氧化型LDL水平很高,这表明动脉管壁上粥样硬化开始形成。而且越来越多的证据表明氧化型LDL水平与动脉硬化和冠心病形成相关,现在氧化型LDL水平也逐渐成为一种诊断依据,以便给冠心病病人提供更好更及时的治疗。 
  现在广泛认为动脉硬化是一种慢性炎症,而非原来认为的退行性疾病。而氧化型LDL应该是造成冠状动脉管壁粥样硬化的一种关键蛋白因子。正常动脉不含氧化性LDL,而天然型(非氧化型)LDL也不会导致动脉硬化。因此LDL的氧化是以下病理过程的关键:初期,单核巨噬细胞转变为泡沫细胞;后期,冠状动脉狭窄、纤维斑块形成、血栓形成、心肌梗塞。
循环系统的祸患
  Mercodia的氧化性LDL ELISA试剂盒采用一种独特单克隆抗体。此抗体由比利时Leuven大学Paul Holvoet和Desire Collen教授研发,对氧化型LDL有很高的特异性。实验证明,氧化性LDL和冠心病的关联性比其他血液脂类、如总胆固醇、HDL-胆固醇或LDL胆固醇更高。Holvoet教授将和Mercodia一起,不断改进其检测方法。

与糖尿病的关系
  动脉粥样硬化和冠心病是二型糖尿病主要死因。Mercodia发现,高氧化型LDL症候患者中,二型糖尿病患者占多数。这一重大发现预示着氧化型LDL的检测可成为鉴定(已产生动脉硬化症候的)二型糖尿病的有效指标。
