Hormones are important substances for maintaining human life. They are a kind of bioactive molecules secreted by endocrine glands or other cells, and can arrive to every parts of the body to regulate by blood or lymphatic circulation.
There're various hormones, playing different roles in human body. (e.g. metabolic regulation, growth and development, reproduction, immunity, stress etc.) Abnormal secretion of hormones can cause many diseases, e.g. insulin deficiency-induced diabetes; higher thyroid-hormone induced hyperthyroidism etc.
Common Hormones in Human Body
Common hormones include thyroid hormones, insulin, estrogen and progesterone, testosterone, adrenaline and norepinephrine, growth hormone etc.

There're still many other endocrine cells. It's estimated that over 200 hormones are found in human body.
Detection Technology
Detection technologies for hormones mainly include ELISA, radioimmunoassay, mass spectrographic analysis and biosensor technology etc. ELISA is a rapid, accurate and sensitive detection technology, and widely applied in clinical medicine and biological sciences, including detections for biomacromolecules(e.g. hormones, proteins, antibodies etc).
FineTest develops a series of hormone ELISA kits for thyroid hormones, insulin, estrogen, and progesterone etc, which are widely applied in scientific research.
