[Retention volume of some steroids during their separation by high performance liquid chromatography]
Abstract:
The volume of retention of corticosterone, hydrocortisone, aldosterone, dexamethasone, cortisone, methylprednisolone, and prednisolone during their separation by high-performance liquid chromatography was evaluated. The studies were performed on a Milichrome microcolumn chromatographer. The order of glucocorticoid release and volume of their retention were under study. Measurement of endogenous and exogenous plasma glucocorticoids is practically important in clinical medicine. Steroid concentrations indicate the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of exogenous glucocorticoids and their effects on the production of endogenous steroids and reflect the biorhythms of corticosterone and hydrocortisone.
