You can find a wide range of immunoassays for the determination of androgenic and gy-naecological hormone levels in serum, plasma or in urine samples in the following table. Hormones are substances produced in particular organs (glands) and transported to their site of action by the blood stream. In combination with the nervous system, hormones control metabolic processes in the entire body.
The steroid hormones are a special group of hormones that play an important role in many essential physiological processes, such as sex differentiation, fertility, pregnancy, mineral metabolism, energy metabolism and others. As many disorders and diseases are caused or accompanied by too high or too low hormone levels, their determination is an important tool in the clinical laboratories.
