Steroid Hormones, Thyroid Hormones, and Endocannabinoids Analysis in Human Hair with LC-MS

Dear Colleagues,

The analysis of hair steroid hormone, thyroid hormone and endocannabinoid levels is a relatively new strategy to measure long-term cumulative endocrine levels, and is increasingly used in psychoneuroendocrinological research, especially the research of chronic stress.

Hence, a Special Issue of the journal Separations is being published, titled" Steroid hormones, Thyroid Hormones, and Endocannabinoids Analysis in Human Hair with LC-MS ". This Special Issue will comprise research articles, short communications, and reviews which focus on the development of methods for the analysis of steroids, thyroids, and endocannabinoids in hair based on LC-MS.

Considering your expertise in this field, I invite you to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting an original paper. I look forward to receiving your contribution. Thanks for your consideration.

Dr. Wei Gao
Guest Editor
