Urinary excretion of dehydroepiandrosterone and its metabolites in normal young adult women

摘要: Urinary DHEA and its metabolites in healthy young female were measured by capillary gas chromatography. The subjects achieved normal pubertal development, their adrenal secretions had reached to the stable state. diurnal variation, fluctuation during menstrual cycle seasonal variation of urinary excretion each subject relatively low compared with between-subject variability. We analyzed urine follicular phase morning because high correlation daily pattern. distribution was broad range, 80% distributed levels 20% level. scattered diagram ratio deoxy17KS separated 2 groups. Each them a coefficient. one group deoxy17KS, other ratio. These findings suggest that pattern is highly specific may be used as measure see distinction from others.
