Abstract
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a central role in steroidogenesis and gametogenesis. In recent years, a great deal has been learned about the microheterogeneity of FSH using newly developed assay techniques. This review article will attempt to discuss the advantages and the limitations of recently developed and commonly used assay systems.This publication has 60 references indexed in Scilit:
