title: [Assessment of the results of determination of the blood level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate by using various commercial reagents].
abstract: The results of determination of the blood levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) sulfate (DHEA-S) were comparatively assessed, by using the test systems "Steroid-IEA-DHEA-sulfate" (ZAO "Alkor Bio" (Saint Petersburg, Russia)) and "DHEA-S ELISA ("DRG Instruments GmbH (Germany)). The studies were conducted in apparently healthy 19-59-year-old women living in the middle belt of Western Siberia. They revealed the high sensitivity of the study test systems to age-related changes in the blood concentration of DHEA-S. The normal blood DHEA-S concentrations levels given in the instruction to the "DHEA-S ELISA" test systems were found to be decreased in they are used to measure the content of the above analyzed parameter in women aged 19-39 years.
