Getein LH Fast Test Kit is used to determine menopause, pinpoint ovulation and monitor endocrine therapy.
Intended Use
The LH Fast Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay) is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in human serum and plasma samples.
About LH
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is produced in both men and women by the anterior pituitary gland in response to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH or Gn-RH), which is released by the hypothalamus.
LH is a glycoprotein hormone consisting of two subunits. The alpha subunit is similar to those of other glycoprotein hormones like FSH, HCG, and TSH, but the beta subunit is distinct and confers its biochemical specificity.
In males, LH is also referred to as interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH). LH secretion in both males and females is regulated by a balance of positive and negative feedback mechanisms involving the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, the reproductive organs, and sex steroid hormones. LH, along with FSH, plays a critical role in maintaining the normal function of the male and female reproductive systems.
