Abstract
The metabolism of simultaneously administered adrenosterone-1,2-3H and 11β-hydroxy-Δ4-androstene-3,17-dione-4-14C has been studied in a normal and a hypothyroid subject. Conversion to the metabolites from either hormone was essentially alike demonstrating ready interconversion of the 11β-hydroxy and 11-keto groups of the administered hormones. Following a large dose of adrenosterone to a hypothyroid subject 3α-hydroxy-Δ4-and-rostene-11, 17-dione and its reaction product with urea, 3α-ureido-Δ4-and-rostene-11, 17-dione were isolated and characterized.
