-
Immunoassay reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative analyses on a body fluid sample (typically serum) to determine the gonadotropin hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), a polypeptide hormone secreted by the hypothalamus. GHRH directly induces the release of gonadotropin hormones, both luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones (LH and FSH, respectively), by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Low levels of GHRH are associated with hypogonadism in males (e.g., Kallmann\'s syndrome) and with other diseases related to abnormal levels of LH and FSH.
