Selectivity that a C18 just can't give you

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) immunoassay is a useful research tool in reproductive endocrinology studies related to primary ovarian insufficiency, oncofertility, gonadotoxicity, menopause, premature ovarian aging, PCOS, neonatal gender determination, Cryptorchidism, Testicular (Leydig/Sertoli cell) function.

The Inhibin A enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit provides materials for the quantitative measurement of dimeric inhibin A in human serum and plasma. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of various hormonal reproductive disorders.

Elevated levels of activin A have been implicated in colorectal and breast cancers in post-menopausal women. FST and FSTL3 are natural binding proteins of activin A. Exogenous FST/FSTL3 do not interfere with activin A determinations. Activin signaling also has been studied as an emerging target for therapeutics.

Inhibin B is a useful research tool in Reproductive Endocrinology studies related to ovarian function assessment, spermatogenesis and testicular function, and oocyte quality.

OXM causes weight loss via suppression of food intake and increase in energy expenditure. OXM administration was also reported to increase heart-rate in mice. Besides regulating glucose homeostasis in monogastric animals, OXM also increases the concentration of insulin and glucose in plasma of Holstein cattle under normal physiological conditions. It has been shown that Type 2 diabetes patients have lower levels of OXM and lev…

The Ansh Labs Bioactive IGF-I kit uses a highly sensitive two-site antibody method which allows detection of bioactive IGF-I. This assay enables accurate measurement and differentiation of bioactive IGF-I from total IGF-I levels. Assessment of bioactive to total IGF-I ratio will be informative and advance our understanding of IGF-I function and regulation in different physiological and disease states.

The ratio of Total to Intact IGFBP-4 concentration measured in individual subjects over time will help normalizes the IGFBP-4 variability between subjects and also increase the detection rate of increased PAPP-A activity in myocardial infarction subjects.
