The measurement of the urinary free cortisol-cortisone ratio has been reported to be a sensitive indicator of renal 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11 beta-HSD 2) activity. This converts biologically active cortisol to inactive cortisone. A decrease in its activity (e.g. through disease or inhibition caused by a therapeutic agent or a foodstuff) may increase cortisol levels and susceptibility towards hypertension. The method presented here uses a simple isocratic tandem column HPLC system. The method has been validated and found to be robust and reproducible. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was found to be 10 ng/mL for both cortisol and cortisone. Samples of urine (n = 99) from patients, most of whom were on complex combinations of drugs, were analyzed and 92% of samples were found to give successful results with this method (cortisol and cortisone above LLOQ). The ratio ranged from 0.07 to 5.61. No interferences were noted from the drugs that the patients were taking. It was also found that a morning spot urine sample gave comparable results to 24 h collection samples, thus making sample collection much easier. 相似文献

Abstract A radioimmunoassay method for the direct measurement of cortisol in plasma after precipitation of the proteins with ethanol is described. Utilizing a specific antiserum against cortisol, with minimal or no cross reaction with other steroids, cortisol was meas-red accurately in a volume of 0.001 ml of plasma. The range of levels that could be measured per ml of plasma varied from 10 to 500 ng. The mean value of plasma cortisol at 8 a. m. obtained in twelve subjects by this method was about half the mean levels reported by another competitive protein binding assay. 相似文献

The tetrahydrocortisol–apolipoprotein A‐I complex specifically interacts with eukaryotic DNA isolated from rat liver. This interaction is highly cooperative and of a saturating nature. One DNA molecule binds about 54 molecules of the complex. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering has shown that hydrogen bonds between nitrous bases are destroyed and that single‐stranded structures are formed at the interaction of the tetrahydrocortisol–apolipoprotein A‐I complex with eukaryotic DNA. The most probable site of binding the tetrahydrocortisol–apolipoprotein A‐I complex with DNA is the sequence of the CC(GCC)n type entering the structure of many genes, among them the structure of the human apolipoprotein A‐I gene. Oligonucleotide of this type has been synthesized. The association constant (Kass) of its complexation was shown to be 1.66 · 106 M?1. Substitution of tetrahydrocortisol for cortisol in the complex results in a considerable decrease of Kass. IR‐spectroscopy study has shown that the interaction of tetrahydrocortisol with oligonucleotide CC(GCC)3–5 is accompanied by the formation of hydrogen bonds via the CO‐NH, PO2, and OH groups of desoxycytidinephosphate. The tetrahydrocortisol–apolipoprotein A‐I complex alters the DNA secondary structure formed at the interaction with the hormone, causing the structural transition “order → tangle.” It is assumed that in the GC‐pairs of the given DNA sequence, tetrahydrocortisol initiates the rupture of hydrogen bonds, while the hydrophobic interactions between nitrous bases and apoA‐I intensify this process. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In recent years, capillary electrophoretic immunoassay (CEIA) has become a primary analytical tool in clinical diagnostics. The primary detection methods in CEIA are UV absorbance detection and laser induced fluorescence detection (LIF)1. The major disadvantages of the UV detector are the lack of sensitivity and not available for many antigens which are small molecules without strong UV absorbance. LIF is a more general approach to improve sensitivity. However, it is difficult to u… 相似文献

The simultaneous measurement of dexamethasone and cortisol has proven the ability to increase the diagnostic performance of the overnight dexamethasone-suppression test. Furthermore, the therapeutic drug monitoring of administered corticosteroid drugs could represent a crucial tool for investigating unexpected variations of steroid hormones’ circulating levels. In this work, an LC–MS/MS method for the quantification of cortisol, cortisone, dexamethasone and six additional exogenous corticosteroids in the serum/plasma matrix was developed and validated in compliance with the ISO/IEC requirements. To assess the efficiency of the validated method, serum samples of 75 patients undergoing the dexamethasone-suppression test and 21 plasma samples of patients under immunosuppressive treatment after kidney transplant were analyzed. In all dexamethasone-suppression test samples, it was possible to measure the circulating levels of cortisol, cortisone and dexamethasone. Concentrations of the latter were for all tested patients above the proposed cutoff for the dexamethasone-suppression test’s results, and the cortisol concentrations showed good correlation with the ones measured by routine immunometric analysis, therefore confirming the screening outcome for all enrolled patients. Prednisone was detected and quantified in all enrolled patients, confirming the use of such a corticosteroid for immunosuppressive therapy. Thanks to these two applications, we proved the overall performance of the developed LC–MS/MS method for four target analytes. The future implementation of such an analytical tool in the clinical biochemistry laboratory’s routine will guarantee a single and versatile tool for simultaneously monitoring dexamethasone-suppression-test results and corticosteroid drugs’ administration. 相似文献

CYP3A phenotyping provides a means for personalized drug therapy. We focused our attention on the plasma 6β‐hydroxycortisol (6β‐OHF) to cortisol ratio as an index for CYP3A phenotyping. In the present study, we developed a sensitive and reliable method for the simultaneous determination of 6β‐OHF and cortisol in human plasma using high‐performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry together with picolinylester derivatization or nonderivatization methods and 6β‐[9,11,12,12‐2H4]hydroxycortisol and [1,2,4,19‐13C4]cortisol as internal standards for in vivo CYP3A phenotyping in humans. The lower limits of quantification were 38.513 pg/mL for 6β‐OHF and 38.100 pg/mL for cortisol. The relative error and relative standard deviation of the lower limits of quantification were <5% for both methods. The intra‐day and inter‐day assay reproducibilities of the determined 6β‐OHF and cortisol concentrations were consistent with the actual amounts added as relative errors and relative standard deviations for both methods, which were <5.4% and <3.9%, respectively. Both methods were applied for the quantification of plasma 6β‐OHF and cortisol concentrations in healthy subjects taking oral contraceptives. The absolute concentrations and time course of 6β‐OHF and cortisol were found to be consistent when measured using the 2 methods. The ratio as an index for in vivo CYP3A activity decreased after 21 days of taking oral contraceptives for both methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the detailed investigation of accuracy and precision in the simultaneous measurement of 6β‐OHF and cortisol in human plasma using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry coupled with stable isotope dilution method, which can be applied to CYP3A phenotyping. 相似文献

Cortisol is a steroid hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands. It participates in and controls several processes in the body and is considered an important physiological biomarker. Due to its very low concentrations in body fluids, its detection requires high sensitivity and specificity. Here, we present a simple electrochemical biosensor based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the immobilization of the cortisol-specific aptamer (Ap) (MCH-Ap-AurGO/GCE). Important analytical parameters for identifying the target analyte were optimized, such as conditions and amount of immobilized Ap, the influence of the concentration and nature of the supporting electrolyte, pH of the medium, and incubation time. The optimized conditions for the aptasensor were: concentration of Ap 1.0 × 10−6 mol L−1, support electrolyte Tris/HCl 50 mmol L−1, MgCl2 10 mmol L−1, and NaCl 10 mmol L−1, at pH 5.0 and incubation time of 15 min. A linear response range was obtained from 1 × 10−18 up to 1 × 10−11 mol L−1 of cortisol with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.0 × 10−18 mol L−1. A curve adjusted for operational purposes in the saliva sample was fitted for the concentration range between 0.5 × 10−14 and 1 × 10−11 mol L−1, with a linear regression equation ΔRtc/Rtc1 = 2.70 + 0.17 × log([Cortisol]). The aptasensor demonstrated a great potential for detecting cortisol in a simple, fast, and highly sensitive way, opening its path for application in real samples, which present levels below the concentration in which cortisol is commonly found in body fluids. 相似文献
