Fluorometric Determination of Urinary Metanephrine and Normetanephrine.

چکیده
A detailed procedure for the quantitative determination of metanephrine and normetanephrine is given. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are eliminated by selective adsorption on an alumina column. Metanephrine and normetanephrine are isolated with a cation-exchange resin. Fluorescence is developed by a two-step ferricyanide oxidation at two different pH values followed by tautomerization. The concentrations of both metanephrine and normetanephrine are quantitated by differential fluorometry.

The Effects of Noise and Whole Body Vibration on Urinary Metanephrine and Normetanephrine
Background and Aim: Little attention has been paid to the effects of combined exposure to noise and vibration. Exposure to noise and vibration can effect stress hormones and may lead to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disorders. This study aims to investigate the effects of noise and vibration on urinary Metanephrine and Normetanephrine among men. Methods: In this experimental study, 30 ...
متن کاملDetermination of urinary normetanephrine and metanephrine by radial-compression liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection.
A procedure has been developed for determining the O-methylated catecholamine metabolites, normetanephrine and metanephrine, in urine by use of radial-compression liquid chromatography followed by electrochemical detection. Normetanephrine and metanephrine are isolated from hydrolyzed urine by ion-exchange on small, commercially available, disposable columns and preconcentrated by solvent extra...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay of metanephrine and normetanephrine for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
Sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays of metanephrine and normetanephrine were developed by use of 125I-labeled synephrine and specific metanephrine antibody, and 125I-labeled octopamine and specific normetanephrine antibody. Specific antibody for both metanephrine and normetanephrine was raised in rabbits by immunization with bovine serum albumin conjugated with the corresponding hapten, pr...
متن کاملEvaluation of urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) kits by comparison with isotope dilution mass spectrometry.
Determination of urinary 3-O-methylated catecholamines (metanephrines) is generally considered a principal test for the clinical chemical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and is currently performed predominantly with chromatographic techniques such as gas-liquid chromatography and HPLC. Enzyme immunoassays based on microtiter plate technology have recently been developed for the quantitative deter...
متن کاملPheochromocytoma catecholamine phenotypes and prediction of tumor size and location by use of plasma free metanephrines.
BACKGROUND Measurements of plasma free metanephrines (normetanephrine and metanephrine) provide a useful test for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and may provide other information about the nature of these tumors. METHODS We examined relationships of tumor size, location, and catecholamine content with plasma and urinary metanephrines or catecholamines in 275 patients with pheochromocytoma. We ...
