General description

Androstenedione is a hormone and intermediate in the biochemical pathway for producing testosterone, estrone, and estradiol. This Certified Spiking Solution® is suitable for use as starting material in linearity standards, calibrators, and controls for numerous LC/MS and GC/MS applications in endocrinology, clinical chemistry, neonatal screening, and sports testing.

Application

<ul>
<li><strong>Steroid biosynthesis studies:</strong> The utility of androstenedione solution in dried blood spot analysis via liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry is highlighted, providing a method applicable for newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia and other steroid-related disorders (Zhan et al., 2022).</li>
<li><strong>Hormone precursor biochemical research:</strong> A method for the simultaneous measurement of testosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone in human serum using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed, supporting research in hormone biosynthesis and metabolism (Xu et al., 2017).</li>
<li><strong>Anabolic steroid research:</strong> A study on the application of a UHPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of 17 steroidal hormones, including androstenedione, in equine serum, is crucial for advancing research in doping and physiological studies (Genangeli et al., 2017).

Evidence from both clinical and animal studies suggests that exposure to excess androgens results in cyst formation. The present in vitro study assessed the effects of supraphysiological concentrations of leptin (20 and 40 ng/ml) on progesterone (P(4)), androstenedione androstendione (A(4))
