Each sample was directly assayed; the following extraction procedure was applied to each specimen. Each sample aliquot (300 μl) was placed in a 2.0 ml autosampler vial and spiked with 150 μl of internal standard solution, i.e., androsteneione-d7 and testosterone-d3. Detection and quantitation of all analytes was accomplished using selective reaction monitoring (SRM).
Androstenedione, androsterone, progesterone and the deuterated derivative of androsteneione-d7 were obtained from Steraloids (Newport, RI), whereas testosterone-d3 was obtained from Cerillient (Round Rock, TX). Acetonitrile and methanol were HPLC grade and obtained from Burdick and Jackson (Muskesgon, MI). Acetone, isopropanol, and ammonium hydroxide were Optima grade and obtained from Fisher (St. Louis, MO). Formic acid was ACS grade and obtained from EMD (Gibbstown, NJ).

3-NBA, N-OH-3-ABA, and 3-ABA were synthesized as
described previously.31 (link),57 (link),58 (link) The synthesis of 3-NOBA was performed from 3-ABA
following the experimental protocol reported by Fifer et al. for the synthesis
of similar nitroso-PAHs.59 (link) The
purity and identity of these compounds were verified by UV spectroscopy, high
resolution mass spectrometry, and high-field 1 (link) H NMR spectroscopy. All other chemicals were of the
highest grade available, and all solvents were of HPLC grade.

(DTT), 1-acenaphthenol, dicoumarol (Dic), allopurinol, rotenone, and
D-glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) were purchased from Millipore-Sigma (St. Louis, MO).
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) were purchased from Roche Diagnostics
(Indianapolis, IN). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was purchased from
Worthington Biochemical Corporation (Lakewood, NJ). Androsterone was purchased
from Steraloids (Wilton, NH); 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCPIP) and salicylic acid
were purchased from Acros Organics (Geel, Belgium). Flufenamic acid (FA),
ursodeoxycholate, and indomethacin were purchased from ICN Biomedicals, Inc.

The EIA kit for T (Cayman Chemical Company, MI, USA) was applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 5β-dihydrotestosterone, androstenediol, 5α-androstanedione, androsterone (ADT), eticholanolone and DHEA were purchased from Steraloids (Newport, RI, USA). All tested metabolites were dissolved in ethanol, diluted in the buffer provided with the kit and measured at three different concentrations (150 pg/mL, 75 pg/mL and 37.5 pg/mL) in duplicates. Cross-reactivity was calculated in percentage of the recovery rate of the corresponding metabolite.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
