Abstract Glass capillary gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry is an efficient tool for the investigation of steroids and acids occurring in biological fluids. Many of the compounds indicated in the gas chromatograms are still unknown. Their structure determination can be done with a combination of microchemical reactions and mass spectrometry. A few examples demonstrate the usefulness of “profiling”: Emotional stress cause a 10 − 30 fold increase in the excretion of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). An even higher increase in the DHEA excretion is observed in some cases of hirsutism. Physical stress is manifested by an increase in the excretion of citric acid and a decrease in conjugates of amino acids. The main steroid in blood plasma is DHEA. In patients suffering from uremia the main steroid was found to be 3β, 17β-dihydroxy-5-androstene.
