Preliminary Plasma Levels
* Extraction was performed on human plasma as described in the extraction protocol.** Linear Range varies by lot. Note: Sample level represents preliminary findings based on one experiment, using a relatively small sample size. Value is intended to demonstrate efficacy, but does not represent levels in all possible samples.

Jerid W. Robinson, et al. Luteinizing hormone reduces the activity of the NPR2 guanylyl cyclase in mouse ovarian follicles, contributing to the cyclic GMP decrease that promotes resumption of meiosis in oocytes.
CNP in ovaries was assayed by an ELISA method (FEK-012-03, Phoenix Pharmaceuticals Inc., Burlingame, CA) with a primary antibody made against the 22 amino acid form of CNP. This antibody also recognizes the 53 amino acid form of CNP, and presumably the precursor forms, which include the same 22 amino acids at their C-termini (Wu et al., 2003; Potter et al., 2009)
