Popis: The detection of steroid residues in hair is a powerful strategy to demonstrate long-term administration of these growth promoters in meat production animals. A fast and reliable method was developed for monitoring anabolic steroids and their esters in hair. A 100 mg hair sample was converted into powder and extracted at 50 °C with methanol (sebum fraction). The remaining hair was digested with 1 M NaOH for further extraction of bound steroids. The two fractions were separately purified onto an aminopropyle solid-phase extraction column and onto a silica SPE cartridge. Steroids were detected either by gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry after silylation using N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)-trifluoroacetamide/trimethyliodosilane/dithiothreitol or liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. This method was applied to hair samples collected over a three months period after treatment of three cows respectively with 17α-methyltestosterone, medroxyprogesterone acetate and 17β-estradiol-3-benzoate. The fixation kinetic into hair of the three steroids have been deeply examined and discussed; relation in-between concentration and distance from the injection site, influence of hair colour and sample treatment consequences have been discussed.
