Androgen Concentrations in Umbilical Cord Blood and Their Association with Maternal, Fetal and Obstetric Factors
The aim of this study was to measure umbilical blood androgen concentrations in a birth cohort using a highly specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay and assesses the effects of sex, labor, and gestational age on fetal androgen levels at birth. We performed a prospective cohort study of androgen concentrations in mixed arterial and venous umbilical cord serum fr...
متن کاملAccuracy of first and second generation testosterone assays and improvement through sample extraction.
The monitoring of antiandrogen treatment in patients with prostate cancer, investigation of hyperandrogenism in women, and evaluation of infants with ambiguous genitalia require accurate measurement of low testosterone concentrations. However, testosterone immunoassays have been shown to be inaccurate and often to overestimate testosterone concentrations in the low range (1 ). A working group o...
متن کاملComparison of 7 Published LC-MS/MS Methods for the Simultaneous Measurement of Testosterone, Androstenedione, and Dehydroepiandrosterone in Serum.
BACKGROUND Recently, LC-MS/MS was stated to be the method of choice to measure sex steroids. Because information on the mutual agreement of LC-MS/MS methods is scarce, we compared 7 published LC-MS/MS methods for the simultaneous measurement of testosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). METHODS We used 7 published LC-MS/MS methods to analyze in duplicate 55 random sampl...
متن کاملPerformance of direct estradiol immunoassays with human male serum samples.
BACKGROUND Steroid immunoassays originally required solvent extraction, chromatography, and structurally authentic tracers to avoid interference from steroid cross-reactivity and matrix effects. The demand for steroid assays has driven assay simplification, bypassing this triplet of validity criteria to allow use of unextracted serum, which has introduced bias and nonspecificity at low steroid ...
متن کاملLHRH agonist therapy than with surgical castration: new insights attained by mass spectrometry
PURPOSE. Androgen deprivation therapy by bilateral orchiectomy (surgical castration) or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy (medical castration) is recommended for advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. Both methods aim at reducing serum testosterone concentrations to a castrate level which is currently defined as less than 50 ng/dL. The results of previous studies are...
