Abstract
Thirteen women who had endometriosis were treated with danazol (300 to 400 mg/d). Levels of androgens and danazol metabolites in serum and the influences of danazol metabolites on the assays for serum androgen were investigated during danazol therapy. Serum DHEAS significantly increased (P < 0.05), but serum DHEA slightly decreased. Serum T levels, measured by direct assay, were markedly elevated. However, measured after HPLC separation, the T levels in serum were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). There were considerable cross-reactions between danazol metabolites and androgens (T, DHEA, and A) in RIA. Purification of androgens using column chromatography was necessary to measure serum androgens precisely.
