Quality Control & Documentation
Biological Activity

Dihydrotestosterone is a hormone with powerful androgenic actions, causes the body to mature during puberty and is responsible for many of the physical characteristics associated with adult males. It can be used to construct animal models of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Conversion of different model animals based on BSA (PMID: 27057123)
Species Mouse Rat Rabbit Guinea pig Hamster Dog
Weight (kg) 0.02 0.15 1.8 0.4 0.08 10
Body Surface Area (m2) 0.007 0.025 0.15 0.05 0.02 0.5
Km factor 3 6 12 8 5 20
Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by  Animal B Km
Animal A Km

For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.

Heparin sodium salt (MW 15kDa)

Heparin sodium salt (MW 15kDa) is a heparin polymer with a molecular weight of 15kDa.Heparin sodium salt is an anticoagulant that reversibly binds to antithrombin III (ATIII), thereby accelerating the rate of inactivation of Thrombin factor IIa and factor Xa by ATIII. Heparin sodium salt is used for blood collection and plasma preparation in experimental animals and for the construction of parenteral nutrition models in mice.
