Performance characteristics of three automated immunoassays for thyroid hormones

Background: Since the introduction of the first radioimmunoassay, several improvements have been made in the design of immunoassays such as method of antibody production, labeling, automation and detection technology. We performed an analytical evaluation of the new electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) for serum TSH, FT4 and T3 in the Elecsys 2010 immunoassay system and compared the resu...

Limitations of direct estradiol and testosterone immunoassay kits.

Estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) are biologically active hormones that serve as important diagnostic markers in serum of premenopausal and postmenopausal women and in men. These hormones are measured frequently by immunoassay in clinical laboratories and the test results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. For measuring the hormones by immunoassay, most laboratories utilize ...

Background and Aim: Hirsutism is defined as male pattern hair growth in females which affects 10% of women. Our aim was to compare free salivary and free serum testosterone levels in women with hirsutism and healthy controls.Methods: This study was a case-control study in which 30 hirsute women in child bearing age were recruited and compared with 10 healthy controls. For each patient, a questi...

Dynamics of serum testosterone during the menstrual cycle evaluated by daily measurements with an ID-LC-MS/MS method and a 2nd generation automated immunoassay.

BACKGROUND Testosterone concentrations in normally cycling women are assumed to be elevated around the time of ovulation. The clinical relevance of changing testosterone concentrations during the menstrual cycle, however, is unclear. Poor performance of current direct immunoassays for testosterone at low concentrations confounds this issue. Therefore, our objective was to assess daily testoster...

Simultaneous measurement of serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

BACKGROUND Recent reports have described inherent problems with androgen immunoassays compared with mass spectrometry analyses. METHODS We developed a method for measuring serum testosterone (T) and 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) simultaneously via liquid-liquid extraction followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with positive-mode electrospray ionization. RES...

P-39: Effect of L-Carnitine on Serum FSH, LH and Testosterone Levels in Adult Male Rats

Background: The benefit effect of L-carnitine is proposed for treatment of obesity as long time periods. So, in the present study, effect of L-carnitine on serum FSH, LH and testosterone levels in adult male rats is evaluated. Materials and Methods: Rats were treated different doses of L-carnitine tartarate daily for 16 days, peritoneally. The control group was treated saline as vehicle. After ...
