The determination of estrone, estradiol-17 beta, and estriol in urine and plasma with column partition chromatography.

چکیده
Difficulties encountered in the chemical estimation of estrogens in urine and in plasma are caused principally by the low concentrations of estrogen frequently found in these fluids, by the presence of large amounts of interfering material, and by the lack of specificity of available methods for the quantitative estimation of the estrogens. In these circumstances, it is apparent that, unless adequate separation procedures are used, measurement of estrogens may involve considerable errors, particularly in the direction of overestimation, Morris and Williams (1) were able to obtain efficient separation of adrenal steroids by the use of column partition chromatography, and it appeared that the high degree of resolution afforded by this form of chromatography would be of value also in the separation of urinary and plasma estrogens. It was found that the three estrogens, estrone, estradiol-17/3, and estriol, could in fact be separated by column partition chromatography both from one another and from the interfering material present in extracts of biological fluids. A single partition column was used with one stationary and three successive mobile phases. A complete method based on this chromatographic procedure for the estimation of these three estrogens in urine and plasma is here reported. A preliminary report of the method was published by Preedy and Aitken in 1956 (2). Since then the method has been extensively used in studies of estrogen metabolism in the human (3-7). A modification to increase the sensitivity of the method was reported in 1958 (8).

Column partition chromatography of estrone, estradiol-17 beta, and estriol in phenolic extracts of urine: fluorescence characteristics of interfering material.
The fluorescence spectra of the material obtained when estrone, estradiol-178, and estriol are heated with sulfuric acid have already been described (l-3), together with their relative fluorescence intensities in response to esciting light of different wave lengths (2). However, in order to design the most favorable optical conditions for the fluorometry of these estrogens in urinary extracts a...

متن کاملThe relative effectiveness of estrone, estradiol-17 beta, and estriol in sex reversal in the red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta), a turtle with temperature-dependent sex determination.
In many turtles the temperature during the middle of incubation determines the gonadal sex of the hatchling. Sex steroid hormones have been implicated in temperature-dependent sex determination in the red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta; nonaromatizable androgens are involved in male sex determination and estrogens and aromatizable androgens in female sex determination. Administration of...

In the course of a study of various procedures for the concentration and purification of urinary estrogens, the feasibility of the chromatographic technique seemed to warrant investigation. Chromatography has been employed to advantage in isolation procedures (l-3) for certain estrogens but no attempt has been made to utilize it in any quantitative procedure for estrone, estriol, and cY-estradi...
