Steroids are of considerable therapeutic importance and play a substantial role in endocrinology, a medicine branch dealing with disorder of the endocrine system, an integrated system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones. On the other hand, steroids are increasingly being abused for performance enhancement by professional athletes, Olympians and even amateurs. The identification of small amounts of steroids in body fluids is an analytical challenge. GC/MS is one of the key analytical techniques applied in these areas. For the fast and reliable identification of steroids, mass spectral reference data are essential. This newly expended collection contains 3722 mass spectra and chemical structurs of androgens and estrogens and their trimethylsilyl -, O-methoxyoxime- and acetal derivatives. Most spectra have been obtained on the same mass spectrometer under identical conditions.The data records include chemical name, chemical structure, molecular formula, and synonyms.
