title: [Synthetic anabolic androgens in the fecal material of cattle: radioimmunological determination after purification by high performance liquid chromatography].
abstract: In answer to the mandatory control of the illegal use of anabolizing agents in meat-producing animals imposed by the EEC in farms, a method of analysis of faeces involving high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and radioimmunoassay (RIA) has been described. Four HPLC fractions were collected and submitted to corresponding RIA: 17 beta- and 17 alpha-trenbolone, 17 beta-nortestosterone, 17 alpha-nortestosterone and 17 alpha-methyltestosterone. The mean extraction and purification yield was estimated at 44 +/- 7% using tritiated 17 alpha-methyltestosterone as internal standard. Detection limits of the 3 hormones were estimated at 0.2-0.3 ng/g of faeces. About 50 samples can be analysed per week by this method.
