Abstract

Recent investigations on the influence of urinary degradation on carbon isotope ratios (CIR) of endogenous steroids showed a strong shift in CIR of unconjugated steroids especially at the beginning of deconjugation. The difference between conjugated steroids (gluco- and sulfo-conjugates) and free steroids was found to be more than l‰. This finding was surprising as it is generally assumed that deconjugation occurs without involvement of the steroidal backbone. Both glucuronides and sulfates should be cleaved under retention of the oxygen atom at the steroid. In contrast, a cleavage occurring between the steroid and the oxygen could help explaining the found isotopic fractionation accompanied by degradation. Einleitung
