?:definition
  • Immunoassay reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative analyses of a sample of body fluids (typically serum or urine) to determine follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), one of the hormones that control the functional activity of the gonads (i.e., gonadotropins). FSH is vital for human reproduction, stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles and contributes to ovum ripening in females, and stimulates spermatogenesis in males. The level of FSH is low in some women with polycystic ovary disease or hypothalamic dysfunction. Decreased FSH levels are also found in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, anorexia, and in some cancers of the testes, ovaries, or adrenal glands.
