To investigate whether 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) or its immunoreactive metabolites are formed and excreted in ruminant feces, an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was developed and validated. The antibody was raised in rabbits against 11-KT-3-CMO:bovine serum albumin with biotinylated 11-KT as a label. The assay showed a sensitivity of 0.3\u2009pg\/well. To validate the assay biologically, 6 rams were injected with a synthetic analogue of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (Synacthen, 2\u2009\u00b5g\/kg body wt). An aliquot was collected of each fecal portion spontaneously defecated 8\u2009h before Synacthen injection to 24\u2009h after injection and stored at \u221220\u2009\u00b0C until analysis. Samples (0.5\u2009g) were extracted using 80% methanol and immunoreactive metabolites measured using the 11-KT EIA and an already established 11,17-dioxoandrostane (11,17-DOA) EIA. High-performance liquid chromatography separation revealed no peak in the same elution position as authentic 11-KT; therefore, reacting substances were referred to as 11-KT equivalents. In the case of 11-KT immunoreactive substances, the values increased from baseline (median, 136\u2009ng\/g feces) to a peak concentration (median, 424\u2009ng\/g) 10 to 14\u2009h after Synacthen injection and declined afterwards. Concentrations of 11,17-DOA showed the same pattern, but the values were 2 to 4 times higher. From this data, the authors conclude that 11-KT-like substances, specifically C19O3-androgens with a 17\u00df-hydroxy group, were present in the feces. These substances originate from the adrenals and are most likely cortisol metabolites.
