The GSL Corticoid & Stress Hormone Panel measures targeted glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, and stress-related steroid biomarkers using LC-MS/MS. This panel is designed for research involving adrenal steroid metabolism, stress biology, steroid pathway regulation, and corticoid-related biomarker studies.
What This Panel Measures
Representative analyte classes may include:
- Cortisol and cortisone pathway markers
- Corticosterone-related metabolites
- Aldosterone and mineralocorticoid-related steroids
- 11-deoxycortisol and precursor steroids
- Tetrahydro-corticoid metabolites
- Selected corticoid conjugates when applicable
Representative Analytes
Representative analytes may include cortisol, cortisone, corticosterone, aldosterone, 11-deoxycortisol-related steroids, deoxycorticosterone-related metabolites, tetrahydrocortisol, tetrahydrocorticosterone, 5α-dihydrocorticosterone, and selected hydroxylated corticoid metabolites.
Sample Types
Urine, serum/plasma, saliva, blood spot, tissue, cells, and extracts may be supported depending on the assay and project requirements.
Applications
- Stress biology research
- Adrenal steroid metabolism
- Cortisol/cortisone pathway studies
- Glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid research
- Preclinical endocrine and toxicology studies
- Steroid pathway response studies
What Clients Receive
Reports may include corticoid concentrations, matrix-normalized values, pathway ratios such as cortisol/cortisone when applicable, and QC-reviewed data tables.
