A method was developed for the rapid determination of testosterone in urine. The procedure consists of solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) clean-up before gas chromatographic determination. Recovery was evaluated by adding [3H]testosterone (10(4) cpm) to urine samples; the mean recovery of radioactivity after SPE and HPLC was 82%. Precision was estimated by repeated measurement of testosterone in four different urine samples; the coefficient of variation was 7.9% (95% confidence limits 6.1-11.4%). Accuracy was evaluated by standard addition and dilution assays; a linear relationship was found between the expected and observed values (r2 = 0.982). The method is rapid, effective and suitable for routine analysis.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

D013739 Testosterone A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL. 17-beta-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one,17-beta-Hydroxy-8 alpha-4-Androsten-3-one,8-Isotestosterone,AndroGel,Androderm,Andropatch,Androtop,Histerone,Sterotate,Sustanon,Testim,Testoderm,Testolin,Testopel,Testosterone Sulfate,17 beta Hydroxy 4 Androsten 3 one,17 beta Hydroxy 8 alpha 4 Androsten 3 one,8 Isotestosterone
D014316 Tritium The radioactive isotope of hydrogen also known as hydrogen-3. It contains two NEUTRONS and one PROTON in its nucleus and decays to produce low energy BETA PARTICLES. Hydrogen-3,Hydrogen 3
