Notes:
Summary Urinary steroid metabolites were measured by capillary gas chromatography in 25 women (aged 33.3±12.0 years) with effluvium and 16 control healthy laboratory workers women (aged 34.6±8.4 years). There was significant elevation in the level of a number of steroids and steroid metabolites. The elevation of most steroid metabolites refers to the increased steroid secretion of the adrenal and the high cortisol metabolites levels may be do to stress in some of the patients with effluvium.
