Assay Background

Pyridinium and deoxypyridinium are built as intramolecular crosslinkers during the maturation of collagen. During bone resorption collagen is degraded and the pyridinium-crosslinks are excreted. They are not re-utilized by the body and excreted in the urine. The crosslinks are not released during the de novo synthesis of collagen. They are specific for resorptive processes. Neither PYD nor DPD are taken up by nutrition. Therefore the determination of the crosslinks is independent from the diet. PYD is found in cartilage, ligaments and bone, whereas DPD is rather specific for bone.

The crosslink excretion shows a strong circadian rhythm with a maximum in the early morning hours. Reliable data can be obtained with a 24h or a creatinine corrected morning urine. An elevated crosslink excretion is shown in osteoporotic women. Crosslink levels decrease during treatment with estrogen (Seibel et al. 1994). Therefore they are suited for therapy monitoring (Ganero et al. 1994). The measurement of pyridinium crosslinks is an independent predictor for future bone fractures (Ganero et al. 1995). Increased crosslink concentrations are also described in patients with Paget’s disease, primary hyperparathyroidism and bone metastasis.

Hydroxypyridinium Crosslinks HPLC Assay kit application for the pyridinium crosslinks makes it possible to determine pyridinium and deoxypyridinium in an easy, fast and precise method. The Hydroxypyridinium Crosslinks HPLC Assay kit includes all reagents in a ready to use form for preparation and separation of the samples with exception of the columns (IC3201rp) and the controls (IC3201ko). Both can be supplied separately by Eagle Biosciences. Beside the complete test kits it is possible to order all components separately. Please request our single component price list.

EagleBio的5α-雄甾烷-3α，17β-二醇葡糖醛酸化物是C19类固醇，缩写为3α-DiolG，5α二醇G或简称为α二醇G。它主要作为睾丸激素和二氢睾丸激素（DHT）的代谢产物生产。它主要在目标外围组织（例如皮肤）中产生，尤其是在毛囊周围。大量的3α-DiolG刺激会导致过多的头发形成，特别是在女性通常不存在头发的地方。近年来，在研究患有特发性多毛症的妇女的临床研究人员中，人们对这种类固醇的测量越来越感兴趣。已知是3α-DiolG前体的类固醇包括脱氢表雄酮（DHEA），硫酸脱氢表雄酮（DHEAS），二氢睾丸酮（DHT），雄烯二酮和睾丸激素。已显示只有3α-DiolG随多毛症增加而随治疗减少。这种相关性在多囊卵巢综合征（PCO）患者中也得到了证明。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。
