| pubmed-article:335573 | pubmed:abstractText | An enzyme immunoassay of serum testosterone using the testosterone-glucoamylase complex is described. Testosterone was estimated by the enzyme immunoassay after extraction with hexan: ether (4:1) for serum from men and additional thin layer chromatographic step for serum from women. The within and between assay errors, measured as the coefficient of variation were 11.1 percent (n=8) and 12.0 percent (n=12). The sensitivity of this assay was 0.25 ng. The mean testosterone concentration (+/- SD) in 19 normal men and 4 normal cycling women were 5.3 +/- 1.8 and 0.52 +/- 0.12 ng/ml, respectively. The level of testosterone found by the present assay compared favorably with those obtained by other methods. | lld:pubmed |
