THE IN VITRO METABOLISM OF Al-ANDROSTENEDIONE;3,17
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been demonstrated in this laboratory (1) that A4-androstenedione3,17, c&testosterone, and small amount of other unidentified steroids are formed when testosterone is incubated with liver slices. In order to elucidate further the course of the metabolism of these steroids, 2000 mg. of A4-androstenedione-3, 17, the chief metabolite of testosterone (l), has been incubated in lots of 100 mg. per 10 gm. of liver slices with sterile precautions. The procedure, gross extraction, and fractionation were identical to those employed in the first study.

The effect of organotin compounds on gender specific androstenedione metabolism in the freshwater ramshorn snail Marisa cornuarietis.
In a recent study, we demonstrated that androstenedione was mainly converted to testosterone (T) and 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by digestive gland/gonad complex microsomal fractions isolated from male Marisa cornuarietis, whereas it was primarily metabolized to 5alpha-dihydroandrostenedione (DHA) by females. In the present work, the sexual dimorphic metabolism of androstenedione was furth...

-1 . Biosynthesis of steroid hormones from radioactive progesterone, 17c~-hydroxyprogesterone, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione and testosterone by the adrenals of male and female Rhesus monkeys was studied. 2. On a comparative basis the adrenals from the female monkeys yielded a higher ratio of estrogens to androst-4-ene-3,17-dione and/or testosterone among the biosynthetic products. 3. Probably due t...
متن کاملTHE METABOLISM OF [4-14C]PREGNENOLONE BY BOAR ADRENAL AND TESTIS TISSUE IN VITRO By D. B. GOWER
1. The metabolism of [4-14C]pregnenolone in vitro by boar adrenocortical and testis tissue has been studied. 2. Boar testis tissue formed three labelled A16e steroids, 5a-androst1 6-en-3oa-ol, 5a-androst1 6-en-3,B-ol and androsta-4, 16-dien3-one. In adrenal tissue very much smaller yields of the same metabolites were obtained. 3. Both tissues produced labelledprogesterone, androst-4-ene-3,17-di...

High pressure liquid chromatographic systems capable of resolving at least 28 known and potential metabolites of 17@-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one (testosterone) and 4-androstene-3,17-dione (androstenedione) were used to quantitatively assess the metabolism of the two steroids in monooxygenase systems reconstituted with five purified rat liver cytochrome P-450 isozymes. Cytochromes P-450a, -b, -c, ...
متن کاملEffects of Neonatal and Adult Castration on the in Vitro Metabolism of Steroids and Xenobiotics in Rat Liver1
Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that the sex-differen tiated metabolism of 4-androstene-3,17-dione and of several other steroid hormones in adult rat liver is "feminized" following neonatal castration of male rats, due to an influence via the hypothalamo-pituitary-liver axis. The metabolism of many xenobiotics is also sex differentiated, and an important question is whether endocr...
