Estradiol

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States

Estradiol is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, particularly in the female reproductive system. It is a key component of the estrogen family and is produced primarily by the ovaries in women. Estradiol is responsible for the development and maintenance of female sexual characteristics and is essential for the proper function of the reproductive organs and the regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Estradiol (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) and T3 (Abbexa Ltd., Cambridge UK) serum concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Estradiol assay sensitivity reported by the manufacturer is 12.1 pg/mL, range 12.3–3,000 pg/mL, Minimum Detectable Dose 4.84 pg/ml, with an intra-assay precision of 5.97% coefficient of variation (CV) and an inter-assay precision of 7.13%. T3 assay sensitivity reported by the manufacturer is < 35 pg/mL, range 78 pg/mL—5000 pg/mL, with an intra-assay precision <7.2% CV and an inter-assay precision at <10.1% CV. Serum samples were run in duplicate and in our hands CVs of 5.7% for E2 and 4.1% for T3 were attained. The mean of each sample was taken as the hormone concentration. Samples were then analyzed using an EL808™ Absorbance Microplate Reader (BioTek, Vermont, US) and software Gen5 (version 1.11; BioTek, Vermont, US). There was insufficient serum volume for 13 participants when undertaking analysis of T3 resulting in a sample size of 48 for the T3 data.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
