General description

A certified solution standard applicable to use in sports testing, urine drug testing, and diagnostic testing by LC-MS/MS or GC/MS. Testosterone, a hormone from the androgen group, is an important sex hormone and anabolic steroid often abused in sports.

Application


  • Chemical Castration Studies: Testosterone solution is employed in veterinary applications, notably in the chemical castration of dogs using calcium chloride, demonstrating its utility in reproductive health management and animal welfare (Nader et al., 2023).

  • Neuroendocrine Research: It is utilized in studying the interplay between hypothalamic subunits and sex hormone levels in Alzheimer′s disease, highlighting its critical role in understanding neurodegenerative diseases and the neuroendocrine system (Ofori et al., 2024).

  • Endocrine Research: Testosterone solution is vital for research into the effects of melatonin on reproductive functions in hypothyroidism models, aiding in the exploration of hormonal interactions and therapeutic targets (Ezzat et al., 2024).

  • Reproductive Biology: In animal studies, testosterone is crucial for assessing the impact of treatments like intratesticular injections on sperm quality, oxidative stress, and testicular pathology, providing insights into male fertility and potential treatments (Baqerkhani et al., 2024).

  • Pharmacodynamics in Dermatology: The hormone′s solutions are used in pharmacodynamic studies to assess treatments for conditions like androgenetic alopecia, showcasing its importance in dermatological and biochemical research (Li et al., 2024).

BACKGROUND; Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) reduce levels of androgen, especially testosterone (T), by inhibiting ovarian and adrenal androgen synthesis and by increasing levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Although this suppressive effect has been investigated by numerous studies over many

Optimize serum samples for LC-MS/MS-based free testosterone determination using Supel™ BioSPME 96-pin device and validated equilibrium dialysis methods.

LC-MS/MS is a powerful tool that brings numerous benefits to the clinical sample analysis arena. However, due to the complexity of the instrumentation there are some unique challenges that also accompany these benefits. Even following sample extraction and cleanup, matrix effects from the samples can cause interferences or impact ionization efficiency.

This application note describes an accurate and sensitive, Supel™ Swift HLB DPX Tips based analysis of a total of 9 steroids (cortisone, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol, androstenedione, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone, and progesterone) in blood serum samples using two different standards (UTAK and NIST).

Protocols

The conversion of clinical methods to LC/MS/MS offers advantages; however, is accompanied by a few limitations, notably interference effects from the endogenous sample matrix.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
