The Salimetrics Assays will allow the determination of a wide range of Sex Hormones from Saliva.
Salimetrics Salivary Testosterone Enzyme Immunoassay Kit provides quantitative measurement of salivary testosterone. Standard curve range is sensitive enough to capture individual differences in the testosterone levels expected in saliva. Current protocol uses only 25uL of saliva and no separation or extractions are necessary.
Testosterone is an anabolic steroid synthesized primarily by the Leydig cells in the testes in males, the ovaries in females, and adrenal glands in both sexes. It is synthe- sized from cholesterol, with androstenedione, androstenediol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), progesterone and pregnenolone acting as some of the intermediate sub- strates. Testosterone levels in males increase 10 to 20-fold during puberty, driving the physiological changes associated with male puberty. It also exerts a powerful, wide- ranging influence over emotional well-being, sexual function, muscle mass and strength, energy, cardiovascular health, bone integrity, and cognitive ability through- out a man’s entire life. Ensuring androgen balance is a crucial factor for creating and sustaining optimal cardiovascular health, bone and muscle integrity, sexual function, and natural immune protection.
In the blood only 1 to 15% of testosterone is in its unbound or biologically active form. The remaining testosterone is bound to serum proteins. Unbound testosterone enters the saliva via intracellular mechanisms, and in saliva the majority of testosterone is not protein-bound. Salivary testosterone levels are unaffected by salivary flow rate or salivary enzymes.
