Microbial Transglutaminase is not made by the human body, it is made by bacteria and is used in the food and drug industry. It is capable of cross reacting with the Gliadin-Transglutaminase complex. Those antibodies may trigger autoimmune reactivity.

Microbial Transglutaminase IgG is a specific marker tested in the Array 3X - Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity panel developed by Cyrex Laboratories, designed to detect immune responses to a unique enzyme, microbial transglutaminase. This enzyme, commonly used in food processing to improve protein texture, is structurally similar to the tissue transglutaminase (tTG) enzyme in the human body, which plays a role in the development of celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders.

Micrococcus is a genus of bacteria commonly found in various environments, including soil, water, and human skin. While typically harmless, the presence of Micrococcus in the gut can provide valuable insights into an individual's gut health. These bacteria are generally considered part of the normal flora of the human body, playing a role in maintaining the balance of microbial communities. However, an overgrowth or imbalance of Micrococcus in the gut may indicate underlying issues such as dysbiosis, which is an imbalance in the microbial ecosystem that can lead to various health problems.

Understanding your MicroVascular Health Score™ (MVHS) is essential because a healthy microvascular system is critical for delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells and removing waste products from organs. The GlycoCheck® system measures microvessel health, including capillary density, blood volume, flow, red cell velocity, and endothelial glycocalyx function. A healthy microvascular system, protected by the glycocalyx, ensures efficient nutrient exchange. MVHS is calculated from capillary blood volume, recruitment capacity, and PBR. The microcirculation system constitutes 99% of the vascular surface area, crucial for nutrient and waste exchange, unlike macrocirculation. Poor microcirculation can lead to serious health issues like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and more. Early signs include high blood pressure, diabetes, skin problems, fatigue, and memory loss. Maintaining microvascular health through a balanced diet, exercise, and medical consultation can significantly improve overall well-being and reduce health risks.

In a Complete Blood Count (CBC), the readings labeled MID# and MID% refer to the mid-sized cells population in the blood, which typically include monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. These are types of white blood cells (WBCs), and these measurements give information about their absolute number and percentage relative to the total white blood cell count.

The presence of antibodies to Milk Butyrophilin is an indication of food immune reactivity. The offending food and its known cross-reactive foods should be eliminated from the diet. Milk Butyrophilin has a far reaching effect on the body. It can stimulate antigen-specific immune responses in both gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and peripheral immune organs, and it exacerbates central nervous system inflammation.

Milk Butyrophilin shares a similar homology to myelin and has been shown to degrade myelin tissues through molecular mimicry and cross-reactivity. Patients exhibiting neurological disorders should therefore abstain from consuming milk products.

The presence of antibodies to Milk Chocolate is an indication of food immune reactivity. The offending food and its known cross-reactive foods should be eliminated from the diet. Dark chocolate, in moderation, has many health benefits. It is filled with antioxidants, improves endothelial function, improves gut microbiota, exhibits chemopreventive effects, and activates Factor XII. Pure cacao, dark chocolate and milk chocolate are known to elicit adverse reactions in the form of IgE allergy and delayed intolerance.

The presence of antibodies to Millet is an indication of food immune reactivity. The offending food and its known cross-reactive foods should be eliminated from the diet. Millet is primarily consumed in Asian countries, where it is a food crop. In the US, millet is primarily grown for fodder however it is becoming popular as a health food. Patients with known thyroid disorders should abstain from ingesting Millet as it is a goitrogen.

The presence of mitochondrial antibodies can be used in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests to aid in the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). PBC is a chronic disease in which the bile ducts in your liver are slowly destroyed.

Mixed Heavy Metals (Nickel, Cobalt, Cadmium, Lead, Arsenic) are ubiquitous compounds found in soil, drinking water and food supply, and are not fully avoidable. However, certain exposures can be limited or controlled. These include the exposure of Heavy Metals from manufactured goods, cigarette smoke, paints, gasoline, and some food containers and cookware. Arsenic is absorbed by all plants, but is more concentrated in leafy vegetables, rice, apple and grape juice, and seafood.

The term "Mixed Respiratory Flora" on a sputum test refers to the presence of a diverse range of microorganisms that are normally found in the upper respiratory tract. This includes a variety of bacteria, both harmless (commensal) and potentially pathogenic. In a healthy individual, these organisms exist in balance and are not typically a cause for concern. However, in certain circumstances, such as a weakened immune system or other underlying conditions, some of these organisms can become opportunistic and lead to infections.

MMP-9 is an important marker of intestinal inflammation. It has been shown to be significantly increased in the stool of UC patients compared with healthy controls and patients with IBS, and was found to correlate with the clinical and endoscopic activity of UC.

MMP-9 is a marker of inflammation, tissue remodeling, wound healing, and mobilization of tissue-bound growth factors and cytokines.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the progression of tumour cells and the invasion of inflammatory cells by degrading the extracellular matrix. In the MMP family, MMP-9 gelatinase is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory arteritis by disrupting the elastic lamina. 

MMP-9 contributes to the pathogenesis of numerous clinical disease states, including rheumatic arthritis, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, multiple sclerosis, asthma, and cancer. Current research is exploring the role of this enzyme as a potential drug target.
