title: How to collect blood for the measurement of HGH, LH, FSH, cyclic AMP, folic acid, cortisol and testosterone.
abstract: In order to estimate peptide hormones, steroid hormones, folic acid and cyclic AMP in the same blood sample we investigated the influences of different anticoagulants on the measurement. It could be demonstrated that blood collected in EDTA-coated tubes can be for the measurement of each of the mentioned constituents.
