What is Estrogen ELSA Kit
1. What is Estrogen
Estrogen (also called Oestrogen), refers to a
group of chemically similar hormones. The
namecomes from the Greek: estrus/oistros +
gen/gonos = to generate. It is widely known
and discussed because of its importance for
the development and functioning of females of
the species. As a matter of fact, both men and
women produce estrogen hormones, but the role
they play in men is not entirely clear, and
they are present in significantly higher
amounts in women after menarche (onset of
menstrual periods at puberty) until menopause
(cessation of menstrual periods after
completion of reproductive age).
1.Its function
Estrogen is very important for the growth and
development of female sexual characteristics a
nd the reproductive process.To understand the
roles estrogens play in women, it is necessary
to know something about hormones in general.
Hormones are vital chemical substances in
humans and animals. It is often called as
"chemical messengers," because hormones carry
information and instructions from one group
of cells to another. For human bodies,
hormones have a influence to almost every
cell, organ and function. They regulate our
growth, development, metabolism, tissue
function, sexual function, reproduction, etc.
In terms of the estrogen hormone, it’s primary
function is for developing female secondary
sexual characteristics. These includes
breasts, endometrium, regulation of the
menstrual cycle, which controls the growth
of the uterine lining during the first part
of the cycle. etc. It causes changes in the
breasts during adolescence and pregnancy and
regulates various other metabolic processes,
including bone growth and cholesterol levels.
2.Classification
Estrogen includes Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2)
, Estriol (E3). Let’s take three estrogen tests
in a blood or urine sample to understand the
different roles the three estrogens play.
Generally, Estradiol(E3) is a common measured
type of estrogen for women not pregnant. The
amount of estradiol in a woman's blood varies
throughout her menstrual cycle. After
menopause, however, the estradiol production
drops to a very low but constant level.
Pregnant women are usually familiar with
Estriol (E2) tests, which are only measured
during pregnancy. Estriol is produced in large
amounts by the placenta, the tissue that link
s the fetus to the mother. It can be detected
as early as the 9th week of pregnancy, and its
levels increase until delivery. It can also
be measured in urine.
Estrone (E1) may be measured in women who have
gone through menopause to determine their
estrogen levels. It also may be measured in
men or women who might have cancer of the
ovaries camera.
2. Estrogen ELSA Kit
After introducing you the tests, here we can
get a glimpse of Estrogen ELSA Kit. Creative
Diagnostics offers a wide variety of ELISA kit
s currently available. The Estrogen ELISA Kit
is an immnoassay for detection of Estrogen.
Based on the principle of 1) Competitive
Reaction, which is relied on the recognition
of ES by specific monoclonal antibodies;
2. Chromogenic Reaction, which means that
the presence of ES is detected by adding a
chromogenic substrate; and 3) Quantitative
Analysis, the ES concentration in each sample
is accurately calculated by interpolation
using the absorbance intensity obtained from
the standard curve, Creative Diagnostics can
definitely meet you needs.
