Prolactin - Parameters: 1

The anterior pituitary produces prolactin, which is produced in spurts. Because of the increased production of progesterone and oestrogen during pregnancy, the concentration of prolactin increases. Postpartum lactation is caused by prolactin's stimulating effect on the breast gland. Fertility issues in both men and women are primarily caused by hyperprolactinemia. Prolactin levels are used to diagnose azoospermia, gynecomastia, hyperprolactinemic amenorrhoea and galactorrhea, and anovular cycles. When pituitary tumours and breast cancer are suspected, prolactin levels are also measured.

Prostate Specific Antigen - Parameters: 1

A glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 30.000–34000 daltons, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) shares a tight structural link with glandular kallikreins. Prostatatitis, benign hyperplasia, or cancer are the three pathologic conditions of the prostate that are typically indicated by elevated PSA concentrations in the serum. Low levels of PSA can also be seen in female sera since it is also found in the paraurethral and anal glands, breast tissue, and breast cancer. Radiation prostatectomy may not completely remove PSA from the body. PSA readings are primarily used in the tracking of treatment efficacy and progress in patients with prostate cancer or undergoing hormone therapy. The success of therapy can be determined by observing the steepness of the PSA decline to levels that are no longer detectable after radiation, hormonal therapy, or drastic surgical excision of the prostate. PSA rises might be of different lengths and degrees due to prostate inflammation or trauma (e.g., after rectal examination, transurethral biopsy, cystoscopy, coloscopy, laser treatment, or ergometry).

Testosterone - Parameters: 1

Testosterone keeps the prostate and seminal vesicles functioning normally and encourages the development of secondary sex traits in men. Small amounts of testosterone are produced in the ovaries of women. There are no particular effects of androgens on women at physiological amounts. Depending on the degree of the increase, women who produce more testosterone may become more virulent. The measurement of testosterone in females aids in the identification of polycystic ovaries (Stein-Leventhal syndrome), androgenic syndrome (AGS), ovarian tumours, adrenal tumours, adrenal hyperplasia, and ovarian insufficiency.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Parameters: 1

Thyrotropin, also known as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), is a glycoprotein made up of two subunits and with a molecular weight of about 30,000 daltons. TSH has a diurnal secretion sequence and is produced in particular basophil cells of the anterior pituitary. The primary regulatory mechanism for the biological action of thyroid hormones is the hypophyseal release of thyrotropic hormone (TSH). TSH has a proliferative effect in addition to boosting thyroid hormone production and secretion at all stages. The first test in thyroid diagnostics is the measurement of TSH. The TSH level responds significantly more strongly to even minute variations in the free thyroid hormone concentrations. As a result, TSH is an extremely sensitive and precise metric for evaluating thyroid function. It is especially well-suited for the early identification or rule-out of illnesses affecting the major regulatory circuit that connects the thyroid, pituitary, and brain.
