Investigations on Phase I Metabolism of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids and Its Influenceability as Tool to Refine Steroid Detection and Evaluation [PDF]
This thesis addresses the steroid metabolism and its role in the detection of steroids. The results were achieved by performing metabolic studies in combination with different analytical techniques. Three main outcomes were achieved.

Androstane-3β,5α,6β,17β-tetrol trihydrate [PDF]
The title hydrated tetrol, C(19)H(32)O(4)·3H(2)O, was synthesized by stereoselective reduction of the compound 3β,5α,6β-trihy-droxy-androstan-17-one. All rings are fused trans. The organic mol-ecules are connected head-to-tail along the c axis via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Layers of water mol-ecules in the ab plane inter-connect these chains.

Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of Northern Spain during the last 8000 cal yr BP based on the biomarker content of the Roñanzas peat bog (Asturias) [PDF]
We determined the lipid distributions (n-alkanes, n-methyl ketones, n-alkanoic acids, 5-n-alkyl resorcinols and sterols) and total organic carbon (TOC) content in a 2.0 m deep Sp/wgmim-dominated ombrotrophic peat bog in Northern Spain.

Clinical Relevance of the Constitutive Androstane Receptor [PDF]
Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) (NR1I3), a xenobiotic receptor, has long been considered a master mediator of drug disposition and detoxification. Accumulating evidence indicates that CAR also participates in various physiologic and pathophysiological pathways regulating the homeostasis of glucose, lipid, and bile acids, and contributing to cell

Nontargeted evaluation of the fate of steroids during wastewater treatment by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry [PDF]
Emerging organic contaminants in wastewater are usually analyzed by targeted approaches, and especially estrogens have been the focus of environmental research due to their high hormonal activity. The selection of specific target compounds means, however,

Identification of neuroactive steroids and their precursors and metabolites in adult male rat brain [PDF]
Steroids in the brain arise both from local synthesis and from peripheral sources and have a variety of effects on neuronal function. However, there is little direct chemical evidence for the range of steroids present in brain or of the pathways for ...

Challenges Predicting Ligand-Receptor Interactions of Promiscuous Proteins: The Nuclear Receptor PXR [PDF]
Transcriptional regulation of some genes involved in xenobiotic detoxification and apoptosis is performed via the human pregnane X receptor (PXR) which in turn is activated by structurally diverse agonists including steroid hormones.

Circulating steroid levels as correlates of adipose tissue phenotype in premenopausal women [PDF]
Background: Obesity-related alterations in the circulating steroid hormone profile remain equivocal in women. Our objective was to identify circulating steroid levels that relate to increased adiposity and altered adipose phenotype in premenopausal ...

Influence of Indomethacin on Steroid Metabolism: Endocrine Disruption and Confounding Effects in Urinary Steroid Profiling of Anti-Doping Analyses [PDF]
Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are prohibited as doping substances in sports by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Concentrations and concentration ratios of endogenous AAS (steroid profile markers) in urine samples collected from athletes are used to ...
