Advanced Technique for Sex Hormone Determination by Electrochemiluminescence and Application to Disability Research

Abstract

Sexual hormone is an important group of human hormones which regulate sexual function. The well-known sex hormones in females and males are estrogen and testosterone, respectively. Determination of sex hormone has significant clinical value. The technique for sex hormone in the present day is mainly based on ELISA. However, the ELISA still poses the problem for use in determination of the low level of hormone. In this article, the author presents the advanced technique for sex hormone determination, electrochemiluminescence. In addition, some interesting reports on sex hormone determination by electrochemiluminescence are summarized.
