| | Product Description | |
| Cortisol is a glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal cortex in response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It is secreted with a circadian periodicity, and peaks just prior to waking in the morning. Cortisol is often elevated in major depressive disorder, certain forms of hypertension, stress, AIDS, and in the visceral fat of obese individuals. Cortisol can be measured in many matrices including blood, urine, and saliva. In serum, approximately 90-95% of cortisol is bound to proteins. Urinary cortisol is not bound to proteins, but its levels are dependent on glomerular and tubular function. In saliva, approximately 67% of cortisol is unbound. There is generally good correlation between cortisol measurements in saliva and serum. Cayman Chemical's Cortisol EIA Kit is a competitive assay that provides accurate measurements of cortisol within the range of 7.9-1,000 pg/ml · IC50: 70 pg/ml · Limit of detection: 12 pg/ml · Each kit contains AChE tracer, antiserum, standard, Ellman's reagent, EIA buffer, wash buffer, Tween 20, plates pre-coated with anti-rabbit IgG, antiserum and tracer dyes, plate cover, and complete instructions. | |
