Abstract
The in vitro synthesis of 11-ketotestosterone and 11β-hydroxytestosterone, from adrenosterone and testosterone, by gonadal and interrenal slices and by sperm was studied. The results establish that adrenosterone is the major precursor of 11-ketotestosterone in both interrenal and testicular tissue. 11β-Hydroxytestosterone was synthesized mainly from testosterone by gonadal and interrenal tissue. The production of 11β-hydroxytestosterone by normal gonadal tissue is reported for the first time.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
