title: Normal values in adult Zambians. X. Serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in normal Zambian males and females in the reproductive period of life; estimation by the radioimmunoassay kit.
abstract: Serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) was measured in healthy Zambians in the reproductive phase of their lives, using the radioimmunoassay kit. In males the mean serum FSH level was 7.10mlu/ml. In females, the mean serum FSH level was 9.05mlu/m. These results compare favourably with results obtained by non-kit radioimmunoassay. Furthermore, they are similar to results obtained by other workers in the same phase of life in Caucasians.
