PRODUCT NAME: | AccuBind DHEA-S |
INTENDED USE: | The quantitative determination of Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate concentration in human serum or plasma by a Microplate Enzyme Immunoassay. |
PRODUCT OVERVIEW: | Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is the major steroid secreted by the adrenal cortex, and is a precursor in testosterone and estrogen biosynthesis. Measurement of serum DHEA-S is a useful marker of adrenal androgen synthesis. Abnormally low levels have been reported in hypoadrenalism, while elevated levels occur in several conditions including virilizing adrenal adenoma and carcinoma, some cases of female hirsutism etc. |
