Abstract
An enzymatic detection of [human] urinary steroid-17.beta.-glucuronides is described. The principle of the method is as follows; after gel filtration with Sephadex G-25 .beta.-glucuronidase is added to each effluent fraction and incubated for 20 h at 37.degree. C. After hydrolysis, 3.beta., 17.beta.-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is added and incubated for 20 min at 37.degree. C. An absorbance at 500 nm is read against sample of 1st fraction effluent.
