Getein FSH Fast Test Kit is used for women suspected of having polycystic ovary syndrome, and in individuals undergoing evaluation for infertility, also used for evaluation of individuals with suspected pituitary disorders or diseases of the ovaries.
Intended Use
The FSH Fast Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay) is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in human serum and plasma. FSH testing is used for women suspected of having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and in individuals undergoing evaluation for infertility. It is also used for evaluating individuals with suspected pituitary disorders or diseases of the ovaries.
About FSH
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is essential for pubertal development and the functioning of women's ovaries and men's testes. Like other glycoproteins such as LH, TSH, and HCG, FSH consists of two subunits: alpha and beta. The alpha subunits of these hormones are structurally similar, so the biological and immunological properties depend on the unique beta subunit.
In women, FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles before the release of an egg at ovulation. FSH levels are elevated after menopause, castration, and in cases of premature ovarian failure. In men, FSH stimulates testicular growth and is involved in the early stages of spermatogenesis.
