Changes in Serum Testosterone and Adrenal Androgen Levels in Transgender Women With and Without Gonadectomy

Sarah Collet et al.

Summary: The study found that testosterone levels in transgender women remain stable after initiating feminizing hormone therapy. Adrenal androgens decrease in the first year of hormone therapy and remain unchanged after gonadectomy. The correlation with clinical symptoms still needs to be elucidated.

Report from the HarmoSter study: impact of calibration on comparability of LC-MS/MS measurement of circulating cortisol, 17OH-progesterone and aldosterone

Flaminia Fanelli et al.

Summary: This study compared LC-MS/MS measurements of cortisol, 17OH-progesterone, and aldosterone from nine European centers and assessed their performance based on external quality assessment (EQA) materials and calibration. The results showed variability in intra-laboratory imprecision and performance with EQA materials, but overall the inter-laboratory performance was mostly within specifications. The adoption of common traceable calibrators and EQA materials determined by a reference measurement procedure (RMP) is beneficial for standardization of LC-MS/MS steroid measurements.

The effect of specific binding proteins on immunoassay measurements of total and free thyroid hormones and cortisol

Anastasia Gant Kanegusuku et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of abnormal concentrations of specific binding proteins (BPs) on immunoassay (IA) measurements of thyroid hormones. Results showed significant differences between IA and LC-MS/MS measurements of T3, FT3, and cortisol when TBG or CBG concentrations were low or high, indicating potential inaccuracies in diagnosis and treatment due to the influence of BP concentrations.
