Synthetic ovine CRF (8 micrograms/rat) injected intravenously in nembutal anaesthetized rats increased not only plasma ACTH and corticosterone but also aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone concentrations. The maximum elevation occurred 30 min after oCRF administration. 2 h and 4 h after injection the hormone concentrations declined and after 6 h the corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone values were lower than the corresponding controls. At this time aldosterone remained slightly elevated and ACTH unchanged. 24 h after oCRF injection no difference between the control and oCRF treated animals were evident.

Glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids in hair: facilitating accurate diagnosis of adrenal-related endocrine disorders.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate the presence of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, particularly focusing on aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone, in hair follicles, which has not been reported before.
- Hair samples from 15 healthy volunteers were analyzed using advanced extraction and mass spectrometry techniques, allowing for the detection of various steroids without significant differences between genders.
- Notable findings included the detection of deoxycortisol, deoxycorticosterone, and 18-hydroxycorticosterone for the first time in hair, showing variability in levels for some steroids but stability in others across individuals.

The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR, NR3C2) mediates ion and water homeostasis in epithelial cells of the distal nephron and other tissues. Aldosterone, the prototypical mineralocorticoid, regulates electrolyte and fluid balance. Cortisol binds to MR with equal affinity to aldosterone, but many MR-expressing tissues inactivate cortisol to cortisone via 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD11B2).

Aldosterone (ALD), its precursor 18-hydroxycorticosterone (18-OHB) and its metabolite tetrahydroaldosterone (TH-ALD) are important biomarkers for the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is increasingly utilized in the detection of small molecules of hormones because it has advantages in terms of specificity and sensitivity. The objective of this study is to develop a new LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of ALD (free), 18-OHB, and TH-ALD in human urine and attempt to diagnose primary aldosteronism using different indicators.

Steroid hormone level is a crucial factor affecting the outcomes of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate serum steroid metabolome on the day of oocyte retrieval in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and explore whether specific steroids can be potential indicators to improve the prediction of pregnancy outcomes in PCOS patients undergoing IVF/ICSI. In this study, the serum levels of 21 steroids in 89 women with PCOS and 73 control women without PCOS on the day of oocyte retrieval of the first IVF/ICSI treatment cycle were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Background: A rapid and accurate measurement approach for 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) and related steroids in amount/volume-limited clinic samples is of importance for precise newborn diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and its subtypes in clinic.
Methods: Sixteen steroids (17-OHP, androstenedione, cortisol, tetrahydro-11-deoxycortisol, pregnenolone, progesterone, 11-deoxycorticosterone, corticosterone, 21-deoxycortisol, 11-deoxycortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, aldosterone, 17α-hydroxypregnenolone, dihydrotestosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone) were included in the panel of high-throughput microbore ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Samples were collected from 126 normal subjects and 65 patients including different subtypes of CAH.
