Application

16αHydroxytestosterone has been used as a reference standard for the evaluation of testosterone metabolites using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC/MS/MS) techniques[1]. This product has also been used to analyze the developmental profiles of testosterone hydroxylases in chickens[2].

1. The sensitivity of the developing embryo to xenobiotics is highly dependent on the expression of metabolizing enzymes including cytochromes P450 (CYP). In the present study, therefore, the ontogeny of the CYP-dependent system in the chick was investigated with testosterone

A sensitive nonradiometric assay of aromatization of 16 alpha-hydroxylated androgens, 16 alpha-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (16 alpha-OHA), and 16 alpha-hydroxytestosterone (16 alpha-OHT), has been developed using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with voltametric detector. The estrogens produced by human placental microsomes, estriol (E3) and

The metabolism of 16 alpha-hydroxytestosterone by cytochrome P-450 system was studied with two different inductions. At least 5 different metabolites with higher polarity were produced from 16 alpha-hydroxytestosterone. MT-B, one of their products, appeared to be specifically increased by 3-methylcholanthrene-

This paper describes the development and partial validation of a fast, sensitive and specific ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC/MS/MS) method for the determination of testosterone (T) and its four metabolites, 6beta-OH-T, 16alpha-OH-T, 16beta-OH-T and 2alpha-OH-T, in in vitro samples.

Most, but not all, studies have found that women with a high urinary 2-hydroxyestrogen (2OHE) to 16alpha-hydroxyestrone (16alphaOHE1) ratio are at reduced risk for breast cancer and have a better prognosis. The aim was to identify factors associated with the
