Selective reaction ion-chromatograms of hydroxy-androgen picolinates and four [13C3]-hydroxy-androgen picolinate internal standards. The sample is from a dilution of CD-FBS serum (0.2 mL) containing 12.5 pg of standard mixture and 100 pg of IS mixture. On-column injection is from: 2.5 pg of hydroxy-androgen picolinate and 20 pg of [13C3]-hydroxy-androgen picolinate prepared by extracting the unconjugated hydroxy-androgen from the matrix. 3α-androstanediol: 5α-androstane-3α, 17β-diol; 3β-androstanediol: 5α-androstane-3β, 17β-diol; 5-androstenediol: 5-androstene-3β, 17β-diol; DHEA: dehydroepiandrosterone; DHT: 5α-dihydrotestosterone; EpiT: epitestosterone; T: testosterone.
