Abstract We assessed the quantitative performances of a classical method for profiling urinary organic acids: ethyl acetate extraction/oxime-trimethylsilyl derivatization/GC-MS. Twenty-seven acids were quantified on the basis of specific ions in both scan and selected-ion monitoring modes. We found that the tuning of the mass detector severely affects the calibration factors, being critical to achieve quantitative results, and we propose a practical procedure for reproducible tuning. Of seven compounds tested, tropic acid was retained as the internal standard suitable for most of the acids of clinical interest; a second internal standard, 2-ketocaproic acid, was used in quantifying keto-acids. The within-day and total relative standard deviations (CVs), estimated from scan-mode analyses of urine, ranged from 2.6% to 12.7% and from 4.2% to 11.8%, respectively. Curvilinear relationships between analytical response and concentration were observed for most of the acids investigated.

Abstract A gas-chromatographic method for urinary organic acid analysis is described, designed to be used routinely for the diagnosis of organic aciduria. It involves extraction of urine with ethyl acetate, dehydration of extract residues, and trimethylsilylation. Organic acids are identified by using an extensive list of retention indices published in the accompanying paper (this issue). Quantitative values are given for organic acids in urines from 50 ostensibly normal subjects. Typical chromatograms of urinary organic acids from patients with eight well-established organic acidurias are also shown.

Abstract We evaluated for reliability and reproducibility a semiquantitative gas-chromatographic assay of organic acids in samples of normal urine recovered from absorbent filter paper. We also evaluated this method for use in diagnosis of some of the more common organic acidurias. Transfer of urine from diapers to absorbent filter paper eases the usual trauma of specimen collection from young children; it also simplifies sample storage and shipment.

SUMMARY 1. The protein anabolic properties of three derivatives of testosterone have been investigated. 2. 17α-methyl-Δ5-androstene-3β: 17β-diol and 17α-methyl androstane-3α: 17β-diol produced nitrogen retention in doses approaching those reported as androgenic by other investigators. 3. The third compound, 17α-ethyl-19-nortestosterone (17-ENT), which was studied in greatest detail, produced nitrogen retention in moderate dosage. Other metabolic effects were a fall in urinary calcium and, usually, a fall in faecal calcium. Phosphorus balance agreed with that calculated from nitrogen and calcium balance. Plasma calcium showed no consistent variation, while plasma phosphorus fell. 17-ENT also brought about marked changes in weight, and in fluid, sodium, potassium and chloride balances which are probably due partly to the retention of nitrogen and corresponding intracellular fluid, and partly to increased sweating. When given to two patients with osteoporosis due to prolonged steroid therapy, and receiving prednisone, the compound appeared to aid the restoration of a positive calcium balance. 17-ENT was found to have definite androgenic effects, but their intensity requires further study.
