We described a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) for 5α-androstane-3α, 17β-diol-glucuronide (3α-diol-G) in human diluted urine. This method allowed the direct measurement in 1μl of urine avoiding the hydrolysis and extraction steps for sample pretreatment commonly used in routine methods. The hapten 3α-diol-G was synthesized by a Koenigs–Knorr reaction. The immunogenic complex, 3α-diol-G conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA), was employed to induce the formation of specific antibodies in New Zealand rabbits. In addition, the required chemiluminescent (CL) tracer was prepared. The characteristics of the antibody was determined as regard to specificity and sensitivity and the precision of the assay methods established. In 22 hirsute women affected by policystic ovarian syndrome we found 3α-diol-G values significantly (p < 0.01) higher (146.28 ± 73.77μg/g of creatinine; mean ± SD) than those observed in normal women (72.1 ± 32.58 μg/g of creatinine; mean ± SD). 相似文献

To clarify the source of human urine EGF, we studied EGF renal clearance in 20 healthy, young adult subjects. Immunoreactive EGF was measured hourly in EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum and urine of 12 males and 8 females during a 3 h study period. Plasma and urine creatinine and creatinine clearance were measured and calculated hourly. Mean (and SEM) creatinine clearance was similar in males and females (118 +/- 12 vs 105 +/- 6 ml/min). EGF was not detectable in plasma, whereas relatively high levels were measured in serum (2.5 +/- 0.25 vs 1.5 +/- 0.18 ng/ml in males and females respectively p less than 0.05). Urine EGF excretion averaged 1641 +/- 233 ng/h in males and 1507 +/- 191 ng/h in females (p greater than 0.05). A significant correlation was observed between urine creatinine and urine EGF concentrations in both male (r = 0.98, p less than 0.01) and female (r = 0.94, p less than 0.01) subjects. EGF immunoreactivity in urine and serum eluted from G-75 sephadex columns similarly to recombinant 6000 Mr hEGF. Urine excretion of EGF approximated 1.5 micrograms/h or 25 ng/mg creatine. The high concentrations of EGF found in urine in the face of non-detectable levels of EGF in plasma favor the hypothesis that EGF in urine is derived from kidney synthesis and secretion. The significant positive correlation between urine creatinine and urine EGF suggests a functional correlation between glomerular filtration and the process of tubular EGF excretion. 相似文献

To better understand breeding conditions to promote reproduction in captive kori bustards, fundamental endocrine studies measuring fecal androgen metabolites in male and female kori bustards were conducted. Feces collected weekly from males and females were analyzed for testosterone using enzyme‐linked immunoassay. Results from adult males (n = 5), adult females (n = 10), immature males (n = 10), and immature females (n = 10) revealed seasonally elevated testosterone concentrations in fertile, but not nonfertile adult males and females (P > 0.05). Adult females that were not maintained in a breeding group, or that did not produce eggs, did not demonstrate increases in testosterone compared to egg laying counterparts. In males, but not females, seasonal testosterone increases were accompanied by weight gain. Peaks in male fecal androgen metabolites ranged from 10‐ to 22‐fold higher than nonbreeding season (181.5 ± 19.1 vs. 17.0 ± 0.94 ng/g; P < 0.05). Mean breeding season values for adult males were 83.6 ± 6.1 ng/g vs. nonbreeding season values of 12.3 ± 0.73 ng/g (P < 0.05). In females, average breeding season testosterone concentrations were approximately 4‐fold higher than nonbreeding season (55.9 ± 6.0 vs. 14.5 ± 1.8 ng/g), with peaks 10‐ to 30‐fold higher. Results show that noninvasive fecal androgen metabolite analysis can provide a means of predicting fertility potential of male and female kori bustards and might be utilized to assess effects of modifying captive environments to promote reproduction in this species.

Details of a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay for androsterone (1) and androsterone sulfate in plasma have been presented. Benzene extracts of plasma were chromatographed on a lumina to isolate the androsterone fraction either (a) directly after extraction (A) or (b) after solvolysis (AS). Following treatment with rabbit anti-A-17-BSA, antibody bound steroid was precipitated by ammonium sulfate. Androsterone concentrations in normal male plasma averaged 57 ± 24 (S.D.) ng/dl, range 35–135 ng/dl and for normal women, 44 ± 21 (S.D.) ng/dl, range 18–98 ng/dl. Androsterone sulfate concentrations were: males 55 ± 28 μg/dl (range 10–114 μg/dl); premenopausal females 52 ± 31 μg/dl (range 16–318 μg/dl). 相似文献

Analysis of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in urine is a useful indicator of renal prostaglandin synthesis. A mass fragmentographic method for PGF2α analysis in human urine was developed using [3,3,4,4-2H4]PGF2α as an internal standard and carrier. PGF2α was extracted from urine (20 ml) with chloroform, purified by preparative thin-layer chromatography and converted to the methyl ester trimethylsilyl ether before analysis by gas chromatograph—mass spectrometry. The specificity of the urine analysis was demonstrated by retention time and the use of two pairs of fragments m/e 494/498 and 513/517 with the same results. The coefficient of variation for duplicate analysis averaged 12.6%, n = 17. Urine from recumbent women contained 4.9 ± 2.6 (S.D.) ng/ml or 4.1 ± 1.0 ng PGF2α per mg creatinine (n = 10) with little diurnal variation. Male urine contained 5.0 ± 2.7 (S.D.) ng/ml or 3.7 ± 2.1 ng/mg creatinine (n = 10). Similar concentrations were found in boys and in girls. These observations indicate that urinary PGF2α originates from the kidneys with little contribution from the male accessory sexual glands. This method can also be applied to analysis of PGF2α in rabbit urine. 相似文献

In cultured cells, palmitic acid (PA) and oleic acid (OA) confer distinct metabolic effects, yet, unclear, is whether changes in dietary fat intake impact cellular fatty acid (FA) composition. We hypothesized that short‐term increases in dietary PA or OA would result in corresponding changes in the FA composition of skeletal muscle diacylglycerol (DAG) and triacylglycerol (TAG) and/or the specific FA selected for β‐oxidation. Healthy males (N = 12) and females (N = 12) ingested a low‐PA diet for 7 days. After fasting measurements of the serum acylcarnitine (AC) profile, subjects were randomized to either high‐PA (HI PA) or low‐PA/high‐OA (HI OA) diets. After 7 days, the fasting AC measurement was repeated and a muscle/fat biopsy obtained. FA composition of intramyocellular DAG and TAG and serum AC was measured. HI PA increased, whereas HI OA decreased, serum concentration of 16:0 AC (P < 0.001). HI OA increased 18:1 AC (P = 0.005). HI PA was associated with a higher PA/OA ratio in muscle DAG and TAG (DAG: 1.03 ± 0.24 vs. 0.46 ± 0.08, P = 0.04; TAG: 0.63 ± 0.07 vs. 0.41 ± 0.03, P = 0.01). The PA concentration in the adipose tissue DAG (µg/mg adipose tissue) was 0.17 ± 0.02 in those receiving the HI PA diet (n = 6), compared to 0.11 ± 0.02 in the HI oa group (n = 4) (P = 0.067). The relative PA concentration in muscle DAG and TAG and the serum palmitoylcarnitine concentration was higher in those fed the high‐PA diet. 相似文献

Background
Cancer patients when treated with different chemotherapeutic drugs often develop mild to severe sight threatening diseases during or after chemotherapy. The mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of ocular toxicities is poorly understood. Oxidative stress, inflammation and MMPs (angiogenic factor) are involved in the progression of chemotherapy related ocular disorders.Materials and methods
The concentration of oxidative stress markers such as MDA, NO and levels of different antioxidant molecules such as SOD, CAT, GSH, GPx, GPr, VIT A, VIT E and VIT C present in the serum of chemotherapy treated patients (n?=?50) and in normal persons (n?=?20) were estimated by the direct spectrophotometric method while the concentration of TNF-α and MMP-9 activity were determined using human TNF-α and MMP-9 ELISA kits.Results
The concentration of SOD and CAT (0.356?±?0.05?μg/dl and 1.26?±?0.01?μmol/mol of protein) was significantly lower as compared to that (1.09?±?0.03?μg/dl and 3.99?±?0.04?μmol/mol of protein) in controls. The levels of GPx (0.06?±?0.01?mmol/dl) in the cancer patients were much lower than those in the controls (0.78?±?0.06?mmol/dl). Lower level of GSH (0.96?±?0.003?μg/dl) in serum of the diseased group was observed as compared to healthy group (7.26?±?1.40?μg/dl). The level of Vit A, Vit C and Vit E was lower in systemic circulation of cancer patients (109.99?±?6.35?μg/ml, 1.26?±?0.36?μg/ml and 1.29?±?0.191?μg/ml) as compared to control subjects (166.35?±?14.26?μg/ml, 3.25?±?0.099?μg/ml and 6.354?±?2.26?μg/ml) respectively. The concentration of nitric oxide was significantly higher in the cancer patients (45.26?±?6.35?ng/ml) than that in the normal subjects (16.35?±?3.26?ng/ml). The higher concentration of MDA (8.65?±?3.26?nmol/ml) was observed in the patients than normal ones (1.254?±?0.065?nmol/ml). The quantity of TNF-α was significantly higher in chemotherapy treated patients (32.68?±?4.33?pg/ml) as compared to the control group (20.979?±?1.98?pg/ml). Significantly higher concentration of MMP-9 (40.26?±?3.26?ng/ml) was observed in the cancer patients than the controls (7.256?±?1.95?ng/ml).Conclusion
Lower levels of antioxidant enzymes and non-enzymatic small molecules and higher levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory clinical parameters such as NO, MDA, TNF-α and MMP-9 may be involved in the pathogenesis of systemic chemotherapy related ocular complications such as cataract, glaucoma, blepharitis, retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, pterygium and retinal degeneration. 相似文献8.

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method is described for the assay of propionic acid and of isovaleric acid in physiological fluids by isotope dilution. The acids are derivatized to the pentafluorobenzyl esters to decrease volatility to render them suitable for GC-MS analysis. The following reference values were found. Propionic acid: plasma 0.54 ± 0.38 μmol/1 (n = 13, range 0.03–1.38 μmol/1), urine 1.7±1.6 μmol/mmol creatinine (n = 9, range 0.1–4.9 μmol/mmol creatinine). Isovaleric acid: plasma 0.89+−0.93 μmol/1 (n = 10, range 0.01–3.03 μmol/1), urine 0.38+−0.51 μmol/mmol creatinine (n = 10, range 0.01–1.70 μmol/mmol creatinine). 相似文献

The reduced form of ubiquinone-10 (coenzyme Q) has been shown to represent an important physiologic antioxidant principle in human blood. In order to establish a reference range for infants, we measured plasma levels of ubiquinone in 50 healthy European children aged 2 months to 15 years. A mean ±SD) value of 0.75±0.27 μg/ml plasma (0.87±0.31 μM) was determined; ubiquinone concentrations were not found to be sex-dependent (0.7±0.24μg/ml for girls, n=17, and 0.7±0.28μg/ml for boys, n=33) but correlated negatively with age (r = -0.37, P=0.0075). This negative correlation was mainly due to relatively high levels in infants approximately 1 year old.The mean value determined does not significantly differ from the average ubiquinone plasma concentrations determined in healthy Nigerian children (0.85±0.40 μg/ml, n= 18) in a previous study (Becker K, Boetticher D, Leichsenring M. Internat J Vitam Nutr Res 1995, in press). 相似文献

A rapid, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay was developed for the determination of amdinocillin (formerly mecillinam) in human plasma and urine. The assay is performed by direct injection of a plasma protein-free supernatant or a dilution of urine. A 10-μm μBondapak phenyl column with an eluting solvent of water—methanol—1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7 (70:30:0.5) was used, with UV detection of the effluent at 220 nm. Azidocillin potassium salt [potassium-6-(d-(-)-α-azidophenyacetamido)-penicillanate] was used as the internal standard and quantitation was based on peak height ratio of amdinocillin to that of the internal standard. The assay has a recovery of 74.4 ± 6.3% (S.D.) in the concentration ranges of 0.1–20 μg per 0.2 ml of plasma with a limit of detection equivalent to 0.5 μg/ml plasma. The urine assay was validated over a concentration range of 0.025–5 mg/ml of urine, and has a limit of detection of 0.025 mg/ml (25 μg/ml) using a 0.1-ml urine specimen per assay.The assay was applied to the determination of plasma and urine concentrations of amdinocillin following intravenous administration of a 10 mg/kg dose of amdinocillin to two human subjects. The HPLC and microbiological assays were shown to correlate well for these samples. 相似文献

Eight species of pangolin have been identified in the world. However, understanding of pangolin reproductive biology has been limited to fragmentary records. In this study, the concentration of serum progesterone in three pregnant and two nonpregnant rescued female Formosan pangolins (Manis pentadactyla pentadactyla) was monitored using a commercial progesterone radioimmunoassay kit. During gestation, the serum progesterone of pregnant pangolins A, B, and C remained at 28.5–55 ng/ml (n = 31 samples), 10.9–50.1 ng/ml (n = 34), and 12.4 and 33.5 ng/ml with a peak at 47.6 ng/ml (n = 19), respectively, whereas the serum progesterone of nonpregnant pangolins D and E remained at 1.99 ± 1.62 ng/ml (n = 80) and 2.27 ± 1.64 ng/ml (n = 27), respectively. From this study, it was found that female pangolin weighing as low as 2.14 kg was already capable of reproduction. For pregnant pangolins to give birth to viable offspring, their body weight must increase significantly, 63.89 and 134.0% in the study, from the time of inception or early pregnancy until parturition. In addition, study has found that both viable offspring were born fully developed and exceeded 80 g in weight. The period of gestation was found to be as short as 318 or longer than 372 days. Therefore, the Formosan pangolin should only be able to reproduce once a year. This study is the first insight into hormone assay for determining the gestation period of pangolin. Further investigations on the same subject are necessary to establish criteria for the recognition of reproductive status in pangolins. Zoo Biol 31:479–489, 2012. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

N‐acetyl‐seryl‐aspartyl‐lysyl‐proline (AcSDKP) is a natural inhibitor of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell proliferation and is normally found in human plasma. Because AcSDKP is hydrolyzed by the N‐terminal active site of angiotensin converting enzyme and partially eliminated in urine, its plasma level is a result of a complex balance between its production, hydrolysis by ACE, and renal elimination. In this study, we attempted to establish an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for quantifying AcSDKP‐like immunoreactive substance (IS), which is applicable for monitoring plasma AcSDKP levels in healthy subjects and patients with chronic renal failure. Using β‐ d ‐galactosidase‐labeled Gly‐γAbu‐SDKP as a marker antigen, an anti‐rabbit IgG‐coated immunoplate as a bound/free separator and 4‐methylumbelliferyl‐β‐ d ‐galactopyranoside as a fluorogenic substrate, a highly sensitive and specific EIA was developed for the quantification of AcSDKP‐IS in human plasma. The lower limit of quantification was 0.32 fmol/well, and the sharp inhibition competitive EIA calibration curve obtained was linear between 8.0 and 513 fmol/ml. This EIA was so sensitive that only 10 µl plasma sample was required for a single assay. The coefficients of variation (reproducibility) for human plasma concentrations of 0.2 and 2.1 pmol/ml were 7.2 and 7.7%, respectively, for inter‐assay and 13.3 and 7.8% for intra‐assay comparisons. Plasma AcSDKP‐IS level was significantly higher in patients with chronic renal failure (0.92 ± 0.39 pmol/ml) compared with healthy subjects (0.29 ± 0.07 pmol/ml). These results suggest that our EIA may be useful to evaluate plasma AcSDKP level as a biomarker in various patients. Copyright © 2012 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this article, we describe a simple, sensitive, accurate, and repeatable method for the measurement of phenol and p-cresol (4-methylphenol) in human urine and feces. We examined a number of parameters to identify an optimal extraction protocol. Purification of sample extracts was achieved by low-temperature vacuum microdistillation. Separation was achieved in approximately 15 min by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with quantification by fluorescence at 284/310 nm. Limits of detection for phenol were 2 ng/ml for urine and 20 ng/g for feces, and those for p-cresol were 10 ng/ml for urine and 100 ng/g for feces. For comparison, approximate mean values for urine are 3 μg/ml for phenol and 30 μg/ml for p-cresol, and those for feces are 1 μg/g for phenol and 50 μg/g for p-cresol. An experienced analyst can process 60 samples each day using this method. 相似文献

We developed a sensitive assay to measure amoxicillin in human plasma and midle ear fluid (MEF) using solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase HPLC. Amoxicillin and cefadroxil, the internal standard, were extracted from 50–200 μl of sample with Bond Elut C18 cartridges. The exact was analyzed on a 15 cm × 2 mm, 5μm Keystone MOS Hypersil-1 (C8) column with UV detection at 210 nm. The mobile phase was 6% acetonitrile in 5 mM phosphate buffer (pH = 6.5) and 5 mM tetrabutylammonium. The average absolute recovery of amoxicillin and cefadroxil were 91.2 ± 16.6% and 91.0 ± 6.8%, respectively. The limit of quantitation was 0.125 μg/ml with 200 μl sample size. The linear range was from 0.125 to 35.0 μg/ml with correlation coefficients greater than 0.999. These analytic conditions produced a highly sensitive amoxicillin assay in human body fluids without derivatization. 相似文献

The analysis of arildone in plasma, urine and feces by gas—liquid chromatography with electron-capture detection is described. O-(2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorohenzyl)hydroxylamine is the derivatizing agent for the plasma and urine analysis; 3-nitrophenylhydrazine is utilized for fecal analysis. The mean (± S.E.) minimum quantifiable level of arildone was 1.4 (± 0.2) ng/ml in urine, 6.4 (± 0.1) ng/ml in plasma, and 12.6 (± 1.0) ng/g in feces. The chromatographic response was linear in the range of 0 and 10–120 ng/ml for plasma, 0 and 2.5–20 ng/ml for urine and 0 and 25–250 ng/g for feces. The estimated overall precision of the assay was 5.5%, 6.4% and 8.9% in urine, plasma and feces, respectively. 相似文献

The protein binding of the enantiomers of gallopamil has been investigated in solutions of human serum albumin, α1-acid glycoprotein and serum. Over the range of concentrations attained after oral gallopamil administration, the binding of both enantiomers to albumin, α1-acid glycoprotein, and serum proteins was independent of gallopamil concentration. The binding to both human serum albumin (40 g/liter) [range of fraction bound (fb) R: 0.624 to 0.699; S: 0.502 to 0.605] and α1-acid glycoprotein (0.5 g/liter) (range of fb R: 0.530 to 0.718; S: 0.502 to 0.620) was stereoselective, favoring the (R)-enantiomer (predialysis gallopamil concentrations 2.5 to 10,000 ng/ml). When the enantiomers (predialysis gallopamil concentration 10 ng/ml) were studied separately in drug-free serum samples from six healthy volunteers the fraction of (S)-gallopamil bound (fb: 0.943 ± 0.016) was lower (P < 0.05) than that of (R)-gallopamil (fb: 0.960 ± 0.010). The serum protein binding of both (R)- and (S)-gallopamil was unaffected by their optical antipodes (fb R: 0.963 ± 0.011; S: 0.948 ± 0.015) indicating that at therapeutic concentrations a protein binding enantiomer–enantiomer interaction does not occur. The protein binding of (R)- and (S)-gallopamil ex vivo 2 h after single dose oral administration of 50 mg pseudoracemic gallopamil (fb R: 0.960 ± 0.010: predialysis [R] 6.9 to 35.3 ng/ml; S: 0.943 ± 0.016: predialysis [S] 9.5 to 30.7 ng/ml) was comparable to that observed in vitro in drug-free serum. Gallopamil metabolites formed during first-pass following oral administration, therefore, do not influence the protein binding of (R)- or (S)-gallopamil. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We have established a highly sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of an anticancer drug, UCN-01, in human plasma or urine. Using a fluorescence detector set at an excitation wavelength of 310 nm and emission monitored at 410 nm, there was a good linearity for UCN-01 in human plasma (r=0.999) or urine (r=0.999) at concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 100 ng/ml or 1 to 400 ng/ml, respectively. For intra-day assay, in plasma samples, the precision and accuracy were 1.8% to 5.6% and −10.0% to 5.2%, respectively. For inter-day assay, the precision and accuracy were 2.0% to 18.2% and 2.4% to 10.0%, respectively. In urine samples, the intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were within 3.9% and ±2.7%, respectively. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was set at 0.2 ng/ml in plasma and 1 ng/ml in urine. UCN-01 in plasma samples was stable up to two weeks at −80°C and also up to four weeks in urine samples. This method could be very useful for studying the human pharmacokinetics of UCN-01. 相似文献

A sensitive and reliable radioiinmunoassay for serum unconjugated etiocholanolone (3α-hydroxy-5β-androstan-17-one) is reported. The antiserum was obtained from rabbits by immunization of etiocholanolone-17-(O-carboxy-methyl) oxime [CMO] -bovine serum albumin [BSA]. Two ml of serum with 3H-etiocholanolone added for recovery was extracted with ether, and etiocholanolone was separated from cross-reacting steroids by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography.The mean recovery after extraction and chromatography was 80.7 ± 6.8(S.D.)%. The sensitivity of the assay was less than 40 pg. The intraassay and interassay coefficients of variation were 9.2% and 10.9%, respectively. The mean of serum unconjugated etiocholanolone concentration determined by the present method was 0.39 ± 0.10 (S.D.) ng/ml (n = 50) in normal men and 0.36 ± 0.08 (S.D.) ng/ml (n = 20) in women in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. 相似文献
