ABSTRACT:
A method and diagnostic kit is provided for diagnosing responsiveness to a hormone in a human subject that includes determining the amount of glucose utilized by a sample taken from the subject in the presence of the hormone. The sample taken from the subject may include body fluid or body tissue such as blood or skin. The glucose utilized in the test may be labelled for example, with a radioactive label. The diagnostic test may be used to determine responsiveness to estrogen in a human subject prior to treatment with hormone replacement therapy.
