Introduction: The steroid metabolism of the newborn and infant is subject to rapid changes and is extremely difficult and complex to assess. Of all analytical techniques, the platform technology of GC-MS allows the most comprehensive assessment of the entire steroid metabolome and this approach is also non-invasive.Method: In order to characterize the essential changes in steroid metabolism during infancy, a total of 355...
