In a method for the simultaneous determination of cortisone, cortisol, and corticosterone, the extracted steroids are separated using paper chromatography and assayed by competitive protein binding. Evidence of the reliability of the method, particularly with respect to the determination of cortisone, is presented. Only trivial changes in cortisone level were detected in response to exercise, surgery, and ACTH, even though marked changes in cortisol level were simultaneously recorded. It is suggested that the inertia in plasma cortisone level may be related to its lesser degree of binding to plasma proteins, relative to cortisol, which would permit more rapid hepatic uptake and possible accumulation of a large extravascular pool of cortisone.

ABSTRACT Experimental variables influencing the determination of plasma progesterone by competitive protein binding analysis have been further assessed. The precision of the method has been improved by additional mechanisation. Method interfering factors introduced by the extraction and purification procedure have been evaluated quantitatively. Another type of interfering material is present in plasma extracts from which all progesterone has been removed. The displacement effect of this material is additive to that derived from solvent and chromagram residues. Unless the various types of interfering material are taken into proper consideration, competitive protein binding methods for steroids may yield erroneous results.

ABSTRACT Serum thyroxine concentrations were determined in 66 euthyroid, 30 hyperthyroid and 13 hypothyroid patients using both the established Murphy method and a simplified method of competitive protein binding analysis. A diagnosis compatibility of 96% was found with both methods indicating that the simplified method has comparable clinical application as an initial screen of thyroid status.
