Assay Kit Overview

Intended Use

The Salimetrics Estrone Enzyme Immunoassay Kit is a competitive immunoassay specifically designed and validated for the quantitative measurement of salivary Estrone. It is not intended for diagnostic use. It is intended only for research use in humans and some animals. Salimetrics has not validated this kit for serum or plasma samples.

Introduction

Estrone [3-hydroxy-1,3,5(10)-estratrien-17-one; E1] is a naturally occurring steroidal hormone. A major portion of Estrone is produced from androstenedione in prepubertal children, men, and postmenopausal women. Circulating Estrone levels are relatively high at birth in both males and females, decrease postnatally, and increase during puberty. Of the three major estrogens, Estrone is predominant after menopause in women. Estrone is primarily secreted by the ovaries in premenopausal women, peaking in the preovulatory phase with a smaller secondary increase during the luteal phase. Estrone is a primary component of many pharmaceutical preparations. Research concerning Estrone is often focused on pregnancy, reproduction, and menopause. However, estrogens affect a diverse group of biological processes such as arterial vasodilation, bone density, cognitive function, and neuroprotection. Estrogens are also studied in regard to coronary artery disease, immunocompetence, cancer susceptibility and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Salivary Estrone Assay Principle

This is a competitive immunoassay kit. Estrone in standards and samples compete with Estrone conjugated to horseradish peroxidase for the antibody binding sites on a microtitre plate. After incubation, unbound components are washed away. Bound Estrone Enzyme Conjugate is measured by the reaction of the horseradish peroxidase enzyme to the substrate tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). This reaction produces a blue color. A yellow color is formed after stopping the reaction with an acidic solution. The optical density is read on a standard plate reader at 450 nm. The amount of Estrone Enzyme Conjugate detected is inversely proportional to the amount of Estrone present in the sample.

Background

​Estrone (3-hydroxy-1,3,5(10)-estratrien-17-one; E1) is one of the three main estrogenic steroid hormones produced in humans. Circulating estrone levels are relatively high at birth in both males and females, decrease postnatally, and increase during puberty. (1) Of the three major estrogens, estrone is predominant after menopause in women. (1) In premenopausal women estrone is primarily produced by conversion of androstenedione in the ovaries, with concentrations peaking in the preovulatory phase and a smaller secondary increase during the luteal phase. (1,2) In post-menopausal women, children, and men, estrone is largely produced by conversion of androstenedione in peripheral tissues. (1,2,3) Estrone is subsequently reduced to estradiol in various peripheral tissues. (3) In non-pregnant women, only about 3% of estrone in the bloodstream is not bound to proteins. (4) Unbound estrone enters saliva from blood via intracellular mechanisms, and in saliva the majority of the estrone remains unbound to protein. The saliva and plasma values are highly correlated.
