Introduction
FSH Rapid Quantitative Test is used to detect the concentration of the FSH in human serum.
FSH is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by antepituitary basophil cell, which consists of an α peptide chain and a β peptide chain through covalent bond. FSH, controlled by hypothalamic gonadotropin, promotes the function of maturation of follicle in female, while it promotes the formation and maturation of the seminiferous duct in male. The increase of the concentration of FSH can forecast ovulation according to the peak of the FSH and LH emerging at the same time at the mid-menstrual. It is important to process of the maturation of follicle. It can promote maturation of follicle, cell proliferation in granular layer, active the aromatizing enzyme and increase the secreting estriol.
