  • Title: Steroid determinations in human ovarian follicular fluid using capillary gas chromatography.
    Author: Vanluchene E, Hinting A, Dhont M, Serreyn R, Vandekerckhove D.
    Journal: J Steroid Biochem; 1990 Jan; 35(1):83-9. PubMed ID: 2308331.
    Abstract:
    A method is presented based on capillary GLC using both a thermionic and a flame ionization detector to simultaneously analyse all major unconjugated steroids in ovarian follicular fluids (FF). Although specificity can not always be guaranteed for the smaller concentrations of androstenedione and cortisol, accuracy and reproducibility are excellent for the major progestagens and estrogens (progesterone, 17- and 16 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, pregnenolone, 20 alpha-dihydroprogesterone, estradiol and estrone). Above all the analysis is performed with relatively cheap instrumentation and products. Apart from the "profiles" of unconjugated steroids, a semi-quantitative analysis of steroid conjugates is possible if a preliminary group separation with disposable anion exchanger columns is included.
