Supercritical Fluid Chromatography for Expedited Sample Clean‐Up in Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry Including Cholesterol as New Endogenous Reference Compound

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Supercritical fluid chromatography was employed in the sample preparation for IRMS determinations in sports drug testing for the first time and the developed method was successfully validated. Cholesterol (CHOL) was introduced as a novel endogenous reference compound and population‐based Δ‐values were established as shown here.

Endocrinology of Hirsutism: From Androgens to Androgen Excess Disorders

open access: yes, 2019
Unwanted sexual hair growth has a considerable negative impact on a woman's self-esteem and quality of life. Excessive growth of terminal hair in women in a man-like pattern is defined as hirsutism and affects up to 1 in 7 women.

A Single‐Aliquot Strategy for Simultaneous Carbon Isotope Confirmation of 6‐Oxo‐Androstenedione and Testosterone Misuse in Doping Control

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This method enables simultaneous carbon isotope confirmation of 6‐oxo‐androstenedione and testosterone markers from a single urine aliquot, using bench‐top extraction, two preparative HPLC steps with intermediate acetylation, and GC/C/IRMS analysis. It was fully validated according to WADA requirements, and real samples demonstrated its fitness for ...

The mechanisms of the anabolic actions of androgens in bone.

open access: yes
Androgens (male sex hormones) are one of the few agents that increase bone formation. Androgens act by binding to a specific protein, the androgen receptor (AR). To understand exactly how androgens increase bone formation, we will study mice in which the

Intra‐Individual Variability of Blood and Urinary Steroid Markers and the Response to Codeine Intake in Healthy Men and Women

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Short‐term codeine administration (1–3 days) caused individual alterations in Athlete Biological Passport steroid markers, including elevated urinary T/E ratios and decreased serum testosterone concentrations below individual thresholds, despite no significant changes at the group level.

Role of androgens in polycystic ovary syndrome

open access: yes
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women worldwide, yet its origins remain unknown. Androgens are implicated in the development of PCOS, but the decisive, invasive studies needed to confirm and elucidate their roles are not feasible in ...

Androgens: New effects on proteoglycan biosynthesis and its consequences for atherosclerosis

open access: yes, 2005
The pro- and antiatherogenic role of sex hormones is very controversial. These hormones have metabolic actions, but may also display actions directly on cells of the vasculature involved in atherosclerosis. We recently examined the effect of the male sex

Commonalities of platelet dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and underlying comorbidities

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.
