Abstract
A sensitive assay was developed for the determination of low levels of free (unconjugated) glucocorticoids in human, swine (cortisol and cortisone) and rat urine (corticosterone and 11-dehydrocorticosterone), using solid-phase extraction and HPLC with UV absorbance detection (254 nm). Precise quantitation is allowed by the use of internal standards (dexamethasone for swine urine and Reichstein's substance S for rat urine). This simple method allows the use of small urine samples (less than 2 ml), and is suitable for a wide range of applications in human and animal clinical and physiological studies.Entities:
