High-performance liquid chromatography of steroid hormones

Steroid analysis for medical diagnosis

Steroid assays are important for medical diagnosis of diseases related to steroid disturbances and abuse. This article reviews the recent progress in analytical methods for steroids in the clinical laboratory. The requirements for these methods are rapid, highly sensitive, specific, direct assay of conjugated steroids, the simultaneous analysis, identification of unknown steroids, and ultra-miniaturization of the separation system.

Analysis of steroidal lipids by gas and liquid chromatography

This article describes the most commonly used procedures and recent laboratory methodologies using gas and liquid chromatography developed for separation and quantitation of non-saponifiable steroidal lipids from clinical (human) studies, edible fats and oils or fatty foods.
