A method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected-ion monitoring was developed to measure the main metabolites of 17alpha-methyltestosterone, 17alpha-methyl-5alpha-androstan-3alpha,17beta-di ol and 17alpha-methyl-5beta-androstan-3alpha,17beta-dio l, in human urine. 17alpha-Methyl-[(2)H3]-5alpha-androstan-3alpha,1 7beta-diol and 17alpha-methyl-[(2)H3]-5beta-androstan-3alpha,17 beta-diol were used as internal standards. The methods involved purification using a Sep-Pak C(18) cartridge, hydrolysis by beta-glucuronidase from Ampullaria and derivatization with N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyl-trifluoroacetamide/dithioerythriol/ammon ium iodide. Quantitation was achieved by selected-ion monitoring of the characteristic fragment ions ([(M+H)-2xTMSOH]+) of the di-TMS derivatives on the chemical ionization mode. The method provides a specific, sensitive and reliable technique to determine the urine levels of 17alpha-methyl-5alpha-androstan-3alpha,17beta-di ol and 17alpha-methyl-5beta-androstan-3alpha,17beta-dio l, and can be applied to pharmacokinetic studies of 17alpha-methyltestosterone.

Article Synopsis
- - Methyltestosterone (MT) is a commonly misused anabolic steroid, and its primary sulfate metabolite, S2, has a long detection window but lacked confirmed structural evidence until now.
- - This study developed a method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify S2 without needing complex sample prep, and it included both in vitro and in vivo analyses to solidify findings.
- - By synthesizing and characterizing a reference standard of S2, the researchers provided definitive identification information, which is expected to improve anti-doping testing and evaluation methods.
Integrated Microbiome and Serum Metabolome Analysis Reveals Molecular Regulatory Mechanisms of the Average Daily Weight Gain of Yorkshire Pigs.

The average daily weight gain (ADG) is considered a crucial indicator for assessing growth rates in the swine industry. Therefore, investigating the gastrointestinal microbiota and serum metabolites influencing the ADG in pigs is pivotal for swine breed selection. This study involved the inclusion of 350 purebred Yorkshire pigs (age: 90 ± 2 days; body weight: 41.

Methandienone is an anabolic-androgenic steroid that is prohibited in equine sports due to its potential performance enhancing properties. Metabolism and detection of methandienone in equine urine have been investigated comprehensively in literature; however, there is a limited knowledge about its metabolites in equine plasma and no information about its detection in equine hair. Following a multi-dose oral administration of methandienone to two Thoroughbred horses, 17-epimethandienone, methyltestosterone, two mono-hydroxylated, two di-hydroxylated and three 17α-methylandrostanetriol metabolites were detected in plasma.

In comparison to well-known drug-metabolizing organs such as the liver, the metabolic capacity of human skin is still not well elucidated despite the widespread use of topical drug application. To gain a comprehensive insight into anabolic steroid metabolism in the skin, six structurally related anabolic androgenic steroids, testosterone, metandienone, methyltestosterone, clostebol, dehydrochloromethyltestosterone, and methylclostebol, were applied to human keratinocytes and fibroblasts derived from the juvenile foreskin. Phase I metabolites obtained from incubation media were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Methyltestosterone is one of the banned drugs in aquaculture, and it should be monitored in food-producing animals. 17α-Methyl-5β-androstane-3α,17β-diol, as the main metabolite of methyltestosterone in vertebrates, could be used as another marker for controlling the administration of methyltestosterone, due to its high residual concentration and slow elimination rate. In this study, an analytical method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of methyltestosterone and its main metabolite in fish.
