摘要: From a biochemical perspective most genetic disorders of steroid synthesis and metabolism are best studied by measuring individual steroids, or panels in serum, and/or producing metabolic profiles urinary steroids. There is increasing interest further developing these analyses within the field metabolomics. Classical hormones using immunoassays no longer have sensitivity accuracy demanded physicians researchers, tandem mass spectrometry rapidly taking over this role. However, gas-chromatography/ (GC/MS) still reins supreme for profiling metabolites, although may slowly change. This chapter summarises recent developments HPLC/MS techniques hormonal analysis as well providing comprehensive description use diagnosis study almost all single gene metabolism.
