Resumo

5α-Androstane-3α, 17β-diol (3α-diol) and 5α-androstane-3β, 17β-diol (3β-diol) were measured in human peripheral plasma by gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring as their t-butyl dimethylsilyl ethers. The purification of the plasma extract involved a Sep-Pak® C18 cartridge and high-performance liquid chromatography. The concentrations (mean ± SD) of the two diols in four normal males are: 213 ± 111 pg/ml for the 3α-diol and 246 ± 133 pg/ml for the 3β-diol.
