Reproductive Hormones
Progesterone – Regulates the estrous cycle and supports pregnancy; helps assess ovarian activity and reproductive health.
Testosterone – Influences libido, spermatogenesis, and secondary sexual characteristics; provides insight into sexual maturity and reproductive status.
Prolactin – Supports lactation and maternal behavior; helps evaluate reproductive status.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) – Triggers ovulation in females and stimulates testosterone production in males; indicates fertility potential.
Stress Hormones
Cortisol – Regulates metabolism, immune function, and stress responses; used to assess physiological stress and overall well-being.
Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) – Precursor hormone for sex steroids; monitoring helps assess adrenal function and hormonal balance.
Metabolic Hormones
Insulin – Controls blood sugar by promoting glucose uptake; reflects metabolic function and insulin sensitivity.
Glucose – Primary energy source; essential for evaluating metabolic health and energy regulation.
Leptin – Regulates appetite and energy balance; indicates body condition and energy stores.
Triglycerides – Fats in the blood reflecting dietary intake and energy metabolism; used to assess metabolic health and nutrition status.
Hormone Monitoring Costs
Hormone analysis pricing varies based on study design and testing needs. We offer per-sample pricing, assay validation services, and bundled hormone panels, including reproductive, stress, and metabolic hormone packages. Because each project is unique, our team works closely with clients to determine the most appropriate testing approach and cost structure.
