Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Profile determination methods for oxysterols sulfate and tetrahydrocorticosteroids glucuronides (THC-G) and/or these sulfates in urine samples by means of LC/MS/MS were developed. The method was applicable to quantitative analysis of THC-G in dried urine spots (DUS) sample. The method was well validated, and the concentration of THC-G in DUS were well correlated with those in liquid urine. DUS samples provides convenient and safe transportation, storage and handling of sample. DUS samples would be a useful alternative for clinical screening tests of endocrine disorders, particularly, when the sample needs to be transported over long distances.
