The invention provides methods and materials involved in the analysis of multiple components of a biochemical pathway. Specifically, the invention provides methods and materials for diagnosing adrenal dysfunction. These methods and materials involve the simultaneous analysis of multiple adrenal pathway components using high pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. In addition, the invention provides methods and materials involved in identifying compounds that influence a steroid pathway in a mammal (e.g., human). |
