Suggested Cutoff Point for Testosterone by Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) after Stimulation with Recombinant Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.
The human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stimulation test that evaluates gonadal steroidogenesis is crucial in the assessment of patients with 46,XY disorders of sex development (DSD). This study aimed to determine a testosterone (T) cutoff level that indicates an adequate testicular function using LC-MS/MS after stimulation with recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG) in a single dose. Nineteen prepubertal children with 46,XY DSD and normal T secretion were evaluated. T and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels were measured by liquid chromatography technique with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) before and 7 days after rhCG application at 250 µg. We suggest 0.89 ng/mL as the cutoff point for T after rhCG stimulation analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
期刊介绍:
Recent discoveries in experimental and clinical research have led to impressive advances in our knowledge of the genetic and environmental mechanisms governing sex determination and differentiation, their evolution as well as the mutations or endocrine and metabolic abnormalities that interfere with normal gonadal development. ‘Sexual Development’ provides a unique forum for this rapidly expanding field. Its broad scope covers all aspects of genetics, molecular biology, embryology, endocrinology, evolution and pathology of sex determination and differentiation in humans and animals. It publishes high-quality original research manuscripts, review articles, short reports, case reports and commentaries. An internationally renowned and multidisciplinary editorial team of three chief editors, ten prominent scientists serving as section editors, and a distinguished panel of editorial board members ensures fast and author-friendly editorial processing and peer reviewing.
