The GPL-TOX Profile, aka, Non-Metal Chemical Profile is a useful assessment for environmental chemical exposures. Many chemicals are toxic to various cellular components, including the mitochondria. A marker on the GPL-TOX Profile called Tiglyglycine is often elevated in the presence of toxic chemicals. This lecture from Dr. Woeller will discuss what is the significance for a high Tiglyglycine and some reasons for its elevation.
