title: Gas chromatography of C19 and 17-oxogenic steroids in urine.
abstract: 17-oxogenic steroids have been analysed by gas chromatography (GC) with capillary column and flame ionization detector. The best separation of steroid products was gained after ethyloxime-trimethylsilyl ether formation. The value of the GC method as a screening procedure for patients with suspected adrenal disease is illustrated in selected cases where the diagnosis was equivocal from data derived by RIA analysis of plasma steroids.
