Source location of a 50 msec latency auditory evoked field component.

We recorded auditory evoked magnetic fields in response to 128 15 msec duration 1 kHz tone pips from both hemispheres of 6 normal adult males. Auditory evoked potentials were recorded conventionally from a vertex lead. An approximately 50 msec latency component was identified in both the magnetic (called the M50) and EEG (called the P50) recordings. Isofield topographical contour maps were used to estimate M50 source location and depth. With respect to extracranial bony landmarks, M50 source locations were significantly higher and tended to be more posterior, over the left hemisphere. M50 and P50 latencies were not significantly different in 5 of 6 subjects; in one, M50 latencies were significantly longer than P50 latencies over the left hemisphere. Magnetic resonance images in 5 subjects were used to identify the neuroanatomical structure(s) present at the estimated source location. M50 sources appeared to reside in the cortex of the planum temporale in both left and right hemispheres in all 5 subjects.

Development of a gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method using multiple analytes for the confirmatory analysis of anabolic steroid residues in horse urine. II. Detection of administration of 19-nortestosterone phenylpropionate to equine male castrates and fillies.

Esters of 19-nortestosterone form an important group of anabolic preparations used in veterinary practice. Based upon results from detailed metabolic studies for 19-nortestosterone in the horse, a method to confirm the administration of anabolic preparations of this steroid to castrated male horses and fillies is described; the method is based upon the use of multiple analytes. Following administration of the anabolic preparations, solid-phase extraction of urinary conjugates and the separation of the conjugate groups prior to hydrolysis allow for the determination of specific metabolites conjugated with either glucuronic acid or sulphate. Following hydrolysis of the conjugates, purification of the free neutral steroids on thin-layer chromatography, derivatisation and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis, the presence of the major metabolites, estrane-3,17 alpha-diol in the glucuronic acid fraction and 19-nortestosterone and two isomers of estrane-3,17-diol in the sulphate fraction, could be confirmed for 17-18 days after administration of Nandrolin (19-nortestosterone phenylpropionate).

The identification of C-18 neutral steroids in normal stallion urine.

As part of a continuing research program associated with the detection of anabolic steroid residues in horse urine, normal samples from entire male horses have now been investigated. Isomers of three C-18 neutral steroids; 4-estren-17-ol-3-one (1), estrane-3,17-diol (2) and an unsaturated estranediol having a possible structure (3), have been identified in urine samples from two male horses aged 8 and 14 years. Of these three steroids, compound (2) was not detected in the urine of a 2.5 yr old entire male nor in the majority of post-race urine samples from entire male horses average age 3.8 yrs (n = 34). Ten of these samples showed tentative indications of this compound. Although the isolation of isomers of estrane-3,17-diol from human non-pregnancy urine has been reported previously, analysis of non-pregnancy urine samples in the present study did not reveal the presence of these compounds.

The use of capillary column gas chromatography and negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry to confirm the administration of synthetic corticosteroids to horses.

The negative ion chemical ionization mass spectra of the MO-TMS derivatives of the corticosteroids prednisolone, betamethasone and dexamethasone have been obtained using capillary column gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The spectra showed abundant diagnostic ions at m/z greater than 300 allowing for clear discrimination between the three steroid derivatives. A capillary column gas chromatographic mass spectrometric method using negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry has been developed to confirm the presence of the parent steroids in horse urine following the administration of proprietary preparations of prednisolone and betamethasone.

Capillary column gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis of anabolic steroid residues using splitless injections made at elevated temperatures.

The use of capillary column gas chromatography mass spectrometry has been investigated for the detection of the presence of estrane-3,17 alpha-diol in horse urine extracts; the detection of this diol confirms the administration of anabolic steroids based upon 19-nortestosterone. To reduce analysis time, but yet maintain a solvent effect in the splitless injection mode, injections have been made at elevated temperatures (190-220 degree C) using high boiling solvents (dodecane b.p. 214 degree C and tetradecane b.p. 252 degree C).
