Identification of steroids in rat adrenal glands by liquid chromatography-thermospray mass spectrometry

Abstract
Liquid chromatography-thermospray mass spectrometry was applied to identify corticosterone, 11-deoxy-18-hydroxycorticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone and aldosterone as the major corticosteroids in the intracellular and extracellular pools of rat adrenals.
