| PRODUCT NAME: | AccuBind Testosterone |
| INTENDED USE: | The quantitative determination of Testosterone concentration in human serum or plasma by a Microplate Enzyme Immunoassay. |
| PRODUCT OVERVIEW: | Testosterone is a steroid hormone synthesized by the testes in males. It is responsible for the development of secondary sex characteristics. Testosterone measurements have been very helpful in evaluating hypogonadal states. Increased testosterone in males can be found in complete androgen resistance (testicular feminization). Common causes of decreased testosterone levels in males include: hypogonadism, orchidectomy, estrogen therapy, Klinefelter's syndrome, hypopituitarism and hepatic cirrhosis. In the female, testosterone levels are very low. Common causes of increased testosterone in females include polycystic ovaries, ovarian tumors, adrenal tumors and adrenal hyperplasia. |
