Estimation of Urinary Unconjugated Androstenedione, Dehydroepiandrosterone, Testosterone, Cortisol, Aldosterone and 18-Hydroxycorticosterone as a Potential Tool for Assessing Adrenal Status
Abstract:Summary:A method is decribed for the simultaneous assay of non-conjugated androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, Cortisol, aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone in urine. The method involves solid-phase extraction, automatic high performance liquid chromatography and subsequent radioimmunological quantitation of the individual steroids. Excretion rates of these urinary free steroids were determined in normal males and females. There were no significant sex differences in excretion rates, alt… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
