An evaluation of 13 commercial kits for the measurement of testosterone in serum and plasma. 1986

M J Wheeler, and M Shaikh, and R D Jennings

An evaluation has been carried out of 13 commercial testosterone kits. The within- and between-assay imprecision was found to be unsatisfactory for some kits. Sensitivity and linearity were acceptable for all the kits but several showed concentration-dependent biases to the ALTM or GCMS values. The occurrence of anomalous results and changing performance characteristics of some of the direct kits is also presented.

D013739	Testosterone	A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL.	17-beta-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one,17-beta-Hydroxy-8 alpha-4-Androsten-3-one,8-Isotestosterone,AndroGel,Androderm,Andropatch,Androtop,Histerone,Sterotate,Sustanon,Testim,Testoderm,Testolin,Testopel,Testosterone Sulfate,17 beta Hydroxy 4 Androsten 3 one,17 beta Hydroxy 8 alpha 4 Androsten 3 one,8 Isotestosterone
