Drg International Inc DRG DHEA ELISA, 96 Well Kit
Supplier: Drg International Inc EIA3415
An enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in serum and plasma. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA; androstenolone; 3b-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-one) is a C19 steroid produced in the adrenal cortex and, to a lesser extent, gonads. DHEA serves as a precursor in testosterone and estrogen synthesis. DHEA has a rapid metabolic clearance rate as compared to its sulfated conjugate, DHEA-S. A variety of in vitro effects, including anti-proliferative effects in different cell lines and effects on enzyme-mediated cell metabolism have been reported. In vivo studies suggest that DHEA may affect cholesterol and lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity and secretion and immune function. Measurement of serum DHEA is a useful marker of adrenal androgen synthesis. The DRG DHEA ELISA is a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), based on the principle of competitive binding.
