doi: 10.3390/ani15050762
Figure Lengend Snippet: Assay validation of the EIA kit; results show the precision (intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV)), specificity (dilution test), accuracy (spike-and-recovery test), and sensitivity of the measurement of reproductive hormones in skin biopsies of males and females of small-spotted catshark ( Scyliorhinus canicula ). Results are shown as mean (±SD).
Article Snippet: Commercial enzyme immunoassays of testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone (EIA KIT; Neogen ® Corporation, Ayr, UK) were used to quantify hormone levels in skin extracts of small-spotted catshark.
