The GSL Progestogen Pathway Panel measures progesterone, progestogen metabolites, and related steroid pathway intermediates using targeted LC-MS/MS. This panel is useful for research involving reproductive biology, steroidogenesis, adrenal/gonadal steroid metabolism, neurosteroid formation, and hormone pathway regulation.
What This Panel Measures
Representative analyte classes may include:
- Progesterone and hydroxyprogesterone metabolites
- Pregnenolone-related metabolites
- Pregnanediol and pregnanetriol metabolites
- Dihydroprogesterone-related metabolites
- Progestogen sulfates and glucuronides when applicable
- Progestogen-related neurosteroid precursors
Representative Analytes
Representative analytes may include pregnenolone, progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, 16α-hydroxyprogesterone, pregnenolone sulfate, pregnanediol, pregnanetriol, 5α-dihydroprogesterone, 5β-dihydroprogesterone, allopregnanediol, pregnanolone-related metabolites, and selected progestogen conjugates.
Sample Types
Urine, serum/plasma, saliva, tissue, cells, and biological extracts may be supported depending on assay requirements.
Applications
- Reproductive biology
- Steroidogenesis research
- Progestogen metabolism
- Neurosteroid precursor studies
- Preclinical endocrine studies
- Hormone pathway response studies
What Clients Receive
Reports may include targeted progestogen concentrations, matrix-normalized values when applicable, pathway-focused data tables, and optional interpretation.
