This reaction is used for detecting low protein concentrations in urine by applying spots of urine to cellulose acetate strips which are coloured by nigrosin. The intensity of coloured spots remaining after washing of the strips indicates protein concentration. With a cut-off at 50 mg protein/l,...

They then must collect their urine multiple times over a 24 hour period. Every drop of urine collected goes into a large two – three gallon jug, which is stored in the fridge between fillings. After the 24 hours are up, you take that jug to an accredited lab for analysis and the resu...
Serial urine sampling for measurement of gonadotropin and estradiol levels provides an accurate description of the postnatal activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis in very-low-birth-weight girls. Levels of FSH and LH peak at a mean postmenstrual age of 32weeks (postnatal age of 4...
To date, BPA has been detected in multiple tissues and liquids of human and animal organisms, including urine, saliva, breast milk, adipose tissue, reproductive tissues, and fetuses [3–5]. Previous studies have shown that bisphenol A may have various negative effects on living organisms due ...
