Steroids Analysis Services
Steroids constitute a group of important secondary metabolites produced by plants or animals. They contain the tetracyclic 1,2-cyclopentenoperhydrophenanthrene (5α- or 5β-gonane) carbon skeleton, usually bearing methyl substituents at C-10 and C-13 and an alkyl substituent (side-chain) at C-17. Steroids are found at the highest level in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. Steroids play a major role in the pharmacological activity of medicines. They are used in the treatment of heart disease, colon cancer, stomach cancer, rectal cancer and heart attacks.
In addition, steroids are also used for weight loss because they might help reduce the amount of cholesterol that is able to enter the body. Numerous plants used in foods and traditional medicines are known to contain steroids, many of which may exert physiological activities. Therefore, some simple and routine analytical methods are needed to detect and quantify these steroids in plants.
