A new calibration material suitable for multiple LC/MS applications in clinical and diagnostic testing and endocrinology. An immediate precursor to cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol, or cortodoxone, is measured in whole blood by LC-MS/MS for newborn screening of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and in serum or plasma by LC-MS/MS for determination of several diseases including Cushing′s syndrome, pituitary tumor, and Addison′s disease.

We describe an ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC MS/MS) method suitable for a routine laboratory to determine endogenous and exogenous glucocorticoids in plasma, plasma ultrafiltrate, urine and saliva in a single analytical run. After addition of a
Although there is substantial evidence that membrane progestin receptors (mPRs) perform a critical physiological role in meiotic maturation of fish oocytes, it is unknown whether they are also intermediaries in progestin signaling in the surrounding follicular cells. Here, we show
The serum of Atlantic sea lamprey, a basal vertebrate, contains two corticosteroids, 11-deoxycortisol and deoxycorticosterone. Only 11-deoxycortisol has high affinity [K(d) ~ 3 nM] for the corticoid receptor [CR] in lamprey gill cytosol. To investigate the binding of 11-deoxycortisol to
