Did you mean Immunoassay?

GlossaryImmunoassay

laboratory technique detecting molecules using antibodies

An immunoassay is a laboratory technique used to detect and measure specific proteins, hormones, or other molecules in a sample by using antibodies. This method relies on the highly specific binding between an antigen (the target molecule) and an antibody, making it a powerful tool for diagnosing diseases, monitoring biological processes, and conducting research in fields like immunology and biochemistry.

community High DHT with finasteride. Help!

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 1 year ago

Despite using 5% minoxidil, 0.1% finasteride, and other treatments like microneedling, MK-677, and Cialis, hair loss continues with high testosterone and DHT levels. Considering oral dutasteride but concerned about further increasing testosterone levels.

community Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) VS Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)

in Research/Science 3 upvotes 4 months ago

Finasteride and Nizoral shampoo with Ketoconazole are used for hair loss treatment. Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is recommended over Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for more accurate DHT testing.

community Dutasteride isn’t working confirmed by test.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 40 upvotes 7 months ago

Dutasteride isn't effectively reducing DHT levels, prompting a switch back to finasteride. The user questions the reliability of their DHT test results due to hair loss concerns.
