Mass spectrometry in the diagnosis of steroid-related disorders and in hypertension research

Shackleton, Cedric H.L.·1993·The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Abstract

The use of GC/MS and microbore HPLC/electrospray mass spectrometry for clinical studies in hypertension and mineralocorticoid research is described. In particular, an automated GC/MS method allows nearly quantitative measurements of metabolites of major steroids of adrenal, placental and gonadal origin. This method is able to distinguish almost all steroid related disorders. Electrospray mass spectrometry in conjunction with microbore HPLC is the latest mass spectrometry technique applicable to biochemical investigations. It offers high sensitivity (15 pg) for measurement of intact steroid conjugates and related compounds.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Currently, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is the preferred method for the analysis of urine steroids in research laboratories due to the unparalleled resolution offered by this technique.

    “Currently, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is the preferred method for the analysis of urine steroids in research laboratories due to the unparalleled resolution offered by this technique [339,340].”
  • Serum A4 and testosterone are increased in untreated or poorly controlled CYP11B1 deficiency, whereas 11-oxygenated androgens are characteristically absent, with low excretion of the 11OHA4 metabolite 11β-OHAn.

    “Serum A4 and testosterone (T) are increased in untreated or poorly controlled individuals, whereas 11-oxygenated androgens are characteristically absent, with low excretion of the 11OHA4 metabolite 11β-OHAn (20, 52).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
