Description

DL-Vanillactic acid lithium salt hydrate is a molecule that can be used to diagnose and monitor prolactin levels. It has been shown to be more sensitive than the RIA method in determining serum prolactin levels, with a detection limit of 0.1 ng/mL. DL-Vanillactic acid lithium salt hydrate has also been shown to react with urine samples and increase the concentration of vanillactic acid, which is a metabolite of dopamine. The presence of vanillactic acid in urine may indicate an excess of dopamine, which can lead to carcinoid syndrome or cancer. DL-Vanillactic acid lithium salt hydrate can also be used as a diagnostic tool for other molecules such as serotonin, histamine, and catecholamines.
