Steroids are a class of organic compounds characterized by their four-ring carbon structure, which serves as the backbone for various biologically active molecules. These include sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen, corticosteroids such as cortisol, and other essential compounds like bile acids and vitamin D derivatives. Steroids play crucial roles in a wide range of physiological processes, including metabolism, immune response, reproductive functions, and the regulation of salt and water balance.
Steroid biosynthesis is a complex metabolic pathway that begins with cholesterol, a lipid molecule that undergoes enzymatic modifications to produce different steroid hormones and metabolites. This process involves a series of enzymatic reactions, including hydroxylation, oxidation, and reduction, which are catalyzed by enzymes such as cytochrome P450s, hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, and others. The precise regulation of these enzymes is critical for maintaining homeostasis and ensuring the proper function of steroid-dependent physiological processes.Research into steroid biosynthesis is vital for understanding various endocrine disorders.
The process begins with the extraction of steroids from the sample. This is followed by HPLC-MS analysis, where the extracted steroids are separated by liquid chromatography and then identified and quantitated by mass spectrometry. Our high-resolution MS technology can accurately measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ionized compounds, providing a high degree of specificity and sensitivity in steroid detection.
