Assay of delta-aminolaevulinate dehydratase in 10 microL of blood.

Abstract:

:A method is presented for the assay of delta-aminolaevulinate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.24) to be performed on 10 microL of whole blood. Results compare favorably with those obtained with an accepted method (J. Clin. Chem. Clin. Bio-chem. 12: 389-390, 1974) that involves use of 200 microL of blood.

  • Thyroxine, thyrotropin, and age in a euthyroid hospital patient population.

    abstract::The diagnosis of thyroid disease now often can be achieved reliably by measuring thyrotropin (TSH) alone. Thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine, and other analytes are only needed if TSH and the accompanying clinical condition are discordant. We describe here work that confirms the age independence of TSH in both inpatient...
