DIAsource KAPD1288 FSH ELISA Instruction For Use

Below you will find brief information for FSH ELISA KAPD1288. The DIAsource FSH ELISA is an enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative in vitro diagnostic measurement of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in serum. FSH levels are elevated after menopause, castration, and in premature ovarian failure. The levels of FSH may be normalized through the administration of estrogens, which demonstrate a negative feedback mechanism. The growth of the seminiferous tubules and maintenance of spermatogenesis in men are regulated by FSH. However, androgens, unlike estrogens, do not lower FSH levels, therefore demonstrating a feedback relationship only with serum LH.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is FSH?

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein secreted by the basophil cells of the anterior pituitary. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), produced in the hypothalamus, controls the release of FSH from the anterior pituitary.

What are the normal FSH levels?

It is strongly recommended that each laboratory should determine its own normal and abnormal values. In a study conducted with apparently normal healthy adults, using the DIAsource FSH ELISA the following values are observed: Males: 0.89 – 11.72 mIU/mL; Female: Follicular Phase: 2.0 - 10.0 mIU/mL, Mid-cycle: 7.0 - 20.0 mIU/mL, Luteal Phase: 2.0 - 10.0 mIU/mL, Post-Menopausal: 20.0 –100.0 mIU/mL

What are the limitations of use?

Reliable and reproducible results will be obtained when the assay procedure is performed with a complete understanding of the package insert instruction and with adherence to good laboratory practice. Any improper handling of samples or modification of this test might influence the results.
