This Testosterone rat/mouse ELISA Kit is a solid phase enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), based on the principle of competitive binding. An unknown amount of testosterone present in the sample and a defined amount of testosterone conjugated to horseradish peroxidase compete for the binding sites of testosterone antiserum coated to the wells of a microplate. After onehour incubation on a shaker the microplate is washed four times. After addition of the substrate solution the concentration of testosterone is inversely proportional to the optical density measured.

- Background
-
Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group synthesized by the Leydig cells in the testes in males, the ovaries in females, and adrenal glands in both sexes. It exerts a wide-ranging influence over sexual behaviour, muscle mass and strength, energy, cardiovascular health and bone integrity. Testosterone biosynthesis coincides with the spermatogenesis and fetal Leydig cell differentiation in the male rat. Several in vivo models including hormone-suppression, hormone-restoration and hypophysectomy were established for the study of the hormonal regulation of spermatogenesis by testosterone. In the Brown Norway rat, serum testosterone levels decrease with aging, accompanied by increases in serum FSH. The capacity of Leydig cells to produce testosterone is higher in young than in old rats. Testosterone secreted during late gestational and neonatal periods causes significant brain sexual dimorphism in the rat. This results in both sex-specific behaviour and endocrinology in adults. Analyses concerning the regulation of synthesis reveal that testosterone is able to regulate its own synthesis and indicate that this autoregulation is the result of rapid, specific inhibition by testosterone of 17 alpha-hydroxylase activity.
