Cyclic adenosine monophosphate
Explanation: Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a small molecule that acts as a messenger inside cells. It helps relay signals from hormones and other substances outside the cell to the inside, telling the cell how to respond. cAMP plays a major role in regulating processes like energy production, breaking down fats, controlling the effects of hormones like adrenaline and as an indicator of hormones like parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Test purpose:
- Evaluate hormone-related conditions: Abnormal cAMP levels can indicate problems with hormones like parathyroid hormone (PTH), which affects calcium levels. This test is often used to investigate conditions where hormone signaling might be disrupted or when calcium and electrolyte imbalances are present.
- Monitor metabolic activity: To evaluate how cells are responding to hormones that regulate energy, fat breakdown, and sugar metabolism.
