Analysis of neutral steroid sulfates by glass capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) from blood of a patient with paraquat poisoning.
The chemical analysis of neutral steroid sulfates by glass capillary gas chromatography -mass spectrometry (GC-MS) from the blood of a young girl with acute suicidal paraquat poisoning is described. The steroids had been extracted from an XAD-filter used for immediate hemofiltration treatment of the patient. The steroids analyzed were isomers of known blood and urine components without unusual substituents. It can be concluded that oral intake of paraquat in even large amounts does not cause significant disturbances of steroid metabolism, at least not in the acute state of intoxication.
