Radioimmunoassay for the quantitative measurement of human Cortisol in serum, plasma, urine or saliva without extraction.

Cortisol is the major glucocorticoid produced and secreted by the adrenal gland. In response to different stimuli (diurnal rhythm, stress, low blood sugar concentration), the cerebral cortex stimulates the hypothalamus to release the CRF (corticotrophin releasing factor). CRF causes the release from the pituitary gland of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). Glucocorticoids are then synthesized in response to ACTH. Since Cortisol levels depend upon the interaction of the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands, measurement of urine cortisol levels can also aid in the differential diagnosis of the diseases states of these glands. Our Cortisol RIA can be used for direct measurement of urine samples, as well as saliva samples! Please contact us for any more information needed. We will do our best to provide you with expected support.
