ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods to quantitate the hLHβ core fragment in a sample. The present invention now makes it possible to evaluate the metabolism of hLH in premenopausal, perimenopausal and postmenopausal women and to distinguish between normal and abnormal physiological states.
