A study for the development and validation of a sensitive and specific method for quantifying total activin-A
Question:
A study for the development and validation of a sensitive and specific method for quantifying total activin-A concentrations has been reported on by Knight et al. (A-51). As part of the study they collected the following peripheral serum concentrations of activin-A in human subjects of differing reproductive status: normal follicular phase (FP), normal luteal phase (LP), pregnant
(PREG), ovarian hyperstimulated for in vivo fertilization (HYP), postmenopausal (PM), and normal adult males. Hint: Convert responses to logarithms before performing analysis.
