Description
The Rat-MID™ Osteocalcin EIA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative determination of osteocalcin in rat serum and plasma. The assay is for research use only.
The clinical utility of rat osteocalcin as a marker for bone turnover has been evaluated in several preclinical settings. It has been reported that the serum level increases after ovariectomy and this oestrogen deficiency-induced state can be prevented by treatment with either oestrogen, selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) or bisphosphonates1, 2, 3.
