Assay Background

Iodine is an essential mineral which must be ingested by nutrition. The thyroid hormones T3 (triiodidethyronine) and T4 (tyroxine) are built by the addition of iodine to the amino acid tyrosine. T3 is much more effective than T4.   T3 is taken up into the cells and binds to receptors of the nucleus.  T3 activates a lot of metabolic pathways. It increases body temperature and oxygen consumption.  T3 accelerates the ingestion of carbohydrates, activates the release of fat, and supports the turnover of cholesterol and the protein synthesis. It regulates the water balance, the bone metabolism and is indispensable for the maturation of skeleton and brain.

The measurement of free iodine in urine is a valuable tool for the determination of the supply with iodine.  The measurement of the direct intake of iodine is rather difficult. Therefore the determination of iodine in urine is well accepted as an index of iodine uptake. The fecal excretion is negligible.

The Eagle Biosciences Iodine HPLC Assay kit makes it possible to determine iodine levels in an easy, fast and precise method. The Iodine HPLC Assay includes all reagents in a ready to use form for preparation and separation of the samples with exception of the columns (IC3100rp) and the controls (IC3100ko). Both can be supplied 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。
