Determination of Fertility Hormones and Adipokines by LC-MRM/MS Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Due to the increase in the rate of male and female infertility, assisted fertilization practices are currently adopted as valid support for couples unable to get pregnant. Analytical approaches for fertility hormone dosages are constantly being developed, following the technological progress of fertilization methods that have evolved for more than a century. Indeed, the analysis of fertility hormones in serum samples is a common clinical practice to check the fertility state, but absolute quantification of these hormones is a great challenge due to biological variability and low serum concentrations. Currently, ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) based methods are the most used analytical techniques to quantify hormones in blood in clinical settings. The current Article discusses the
