Abstract
Five sexually differentiated enzyme activities of hepatic steroid metabolism (cytoplasmic 17.beta.-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 5.beta.-reductase; microsomal 3.alpha.- and 3.beta.-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5.alpha.-reductase) were investigated in intact, gonadectomized and hypophysectomized rats after administration of a single dose of estradiol valerate.
