The DHEA ELISA kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay kit with results in 5 hours. Absorbance is read at 405 nm. This kit has low reactivity to structurally related molecules and offers sensitive measurement of DHEA in a variety of sample types.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a 17-ketosteroid produced by side chain cleavage of 17-hydroxypregnenolone. DHEA is reversibly converted to its sulfate ester (DHEA-S) and Androstendiol. The human adrenal glands secrete both DHEA and DHEA-S which in turn serve as the precursors for both estrogenic and androgenic steroids. DHEA has been linked to a number of physiological conditions including depression, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
