EIAgen Testosterone

analyte

Testosterone

brief description

Testosterone, (17ß-Hydroxy-4-adrosten-3-one), a C19 steroid, is the most potent naturally secreted androgen. In normal postpubertal males, testosterone is secreted primarily by the testes with only a small amount derived from peripheral conversion of D4androsten-3,17-dione (ASD). In adult women, it has been estimated that over 50% of serum testosterone is derived from peripheral conversion of ASD secreted by the adrenal and ovary, with the remainder from direct secretion of testosterone by these glands.

intended use

EIAgen Testosterone is a direct solid phase enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of testosterone in human serum or plasma.
