This paper describes a study of the physico-chemical and radioimmunological properties of three antialdosterone antisera which permitted practical conclusions to be drawn. By its high degree of specificity, anti-aldo-3-oxime-BSA constitutes the most useful antiserum for the clinical assay of aldosterone. The principal advantage of this antiserum is that it allows both urinary and blood aldosterone radioimmunoassay without the necessity of including a chromatographic step. No problems arise with the blanks. This work also includes the study of two anti-deoxycorticosterone antisera. The aldosterone and deoxycorticosterone values, obtained from normal subjects under various physiological conditions, are in agreement with the values given in the literature.

Maternal diet has long-term effects on offspring brain development and behavior. Sucrose (table sugar) intakes are high in modern diets, but it is not clear how a maternal high-sucrose diet (HSD) affects the offspring. In rats, a maternal HSD (26% of calories from sucrose, which is human-relevant) alters maternal metabolism and brain and also alters adult offspring endocrinology and behavior in a sex-specific manner.

Saliva samples offer the possibility to obtain stress-free non-invasive samples, also for home-testing, especially useful when blood collection is either undesirable or difficult. The aim of this work was to develop an LC-MS/MS method to determine clinically relevant steroid hormones cortisol, cortisone, 11-deoxycortisol, 21-deoxycortisol, 17OH-progesterone, aldosterone, corticosterone, deoxycorticosterone, testosterone, androstenedione, DHEAS, DHEA, 17OH-pregnenolone, betamethasone and dexamethasone. A special effort was made to adapt the method to neonatal population with respect to choice of saliva as matrix, low sample volumes, selection of analytes and multiplexing.

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.

Background: Reference intervals covering the whole life span for all the metabolites in the steroid hormone biosynthesis quantified by sensitive and robust analytical methods are sparse or not existing.
Objective: To develop a state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of multiple steroid metabolites and to establish detailed sex- and age-specific reference intervals for 16 steroid metabolites.
Materials And Method: An isotope diluted LC-MS/MS method was developed for simultaneous quantitation of 16 steroid hormones.
