A method for the separation and analysis of conjugates of neutral steroids in urine is
described. Following Amberlite XAD-2 extraction of steroids, separation into neutral,
glucuronide, monosulphate and disulphate conjugate groups was achieved by ion
exchange chromatography on the lipophilic gel, diethylaminohydroxypropyl Sephadex LH-
20 (DEAP-LH-20). Enzymatic and solvolytic procedures were used to hydrolyse the
conjugate moiety and the steroids were analysed by gas-chromatography using open …
