Abstract
Diethylstil-bestrol, testosterone propionate and progesterone were administered to 15 patients with normal pregnancies in order to study the effect of these substances on progesterone metabolism and pregnandiol excretion. Diethylstilbestrol and testosterone, when administered daily in large amts. over long periods during the first 16 wks. of gestation, did not alter the normal excretion of pregnandiol. The admn. of progesterone was followed by the prompt recovery of a considerable portion of the injected steroid as pregnandiol.Keywords
