FSH Overview |
|
FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), together with LH (luteinizing hormone), belongs to the gonadotropin family. |
|
FSH and LH regulate and stimulate the growth and function of the gonads (ovaries and testes) synergistically. |
|
FSH is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approx. 32,000 daltons, consisting of α- and β-chains. |
|
Function in Women: Controls the menstrual cycle by stimulating follicle growth and maturation, and estr0gen production. |
|
Function in Men: Induces spermatogonium development. |
|
Clinical Relevance: High FSH levels during menopause, and abnormal levels can indicate hypothalamus-pituitary-gonads dysfunction. |
|
Used in Diagnosis: Menopausal syndrome, polycystic ovaries (PCO), amenorrhea, and azoospermia. |
Test Principle |
Method |
|
Based on the sandwich immunoassay principle. |
|
Procedure: |
|
1. Sample, anti-FSH coated microwells, and enzyme-labeled anti-FSH are combined. |
|
2. Incubation allows FSH in the sample to form a complex with the antibodies. |
|
3. After washing, a solid-phase complex is formed. |
|
4. Substrate is added, and a chromogenic reaction occurs, proportional to FSH concentration. |
