Prostatic inhibin-like peptide quantified in urine of prostatic cancer patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
This is a highly specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for measuring prostatic inhibin-like peptide (PIP) in urine, in which we use penicillinase (EC 3.5.2.6) conjugated with PIP and, as solid phase, a polystyrene microtiter plate. We used this ELISA to measure PIP in 24-h urine specimens from men with prostatic cancer (PCa) and from age-matched controls. For prostatic cancer patie...
متن کاملPassive immunization of ewes against an inhibin-like peptide increases follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations, ovulation rate, and prolificacy in spring-mated ewes.
The objective of this experiment was to determine whether passive immunization against a synthetic inhibin-like peptide (alpha-IF) increases FSH secretion and reproductive performance of ewes bred in the spring. Crossbred ewes were assigned to three treatment groups of 10 ewes each. Progesterone-releasing pessaries (CIDR-G) were inserted and left in place for 12 d. The CIDR-G were removed on Ap...
متن کاملSerum inhibin B as a diagnostic marker of male infertility.
BACKGROUND Infertility affects about 15% of all couples in the world. Approximately 40% of all infertility cases could be attributed entirely to male factors. Serum inhibin B has emerged as a sensitive marker of male fertility. Analysis of serum inhibin B reflects the relationship between inhibin B, Sertoli cell function and spermatogenesis. METHODS This validation study was conducted to calc...
