The two α-ketolic steroids R3 and R4, previously described by de Courcy, Bush, Gray & Lunnon [1953], and which lack the Δ4-3-keto group, have been identified as tetrahydrocortisol (5β-pregnane-3α:11β:17α:21-tetrol-20-one) and tetrahydrocortisone (5β-pregnane-3α:17α:21-triol-11:20 dione). The Δ4-3-ketone, X3, is shown to be identical with Reichstein's compound E (Δ4-pregnene-11β:17α:20β21-tetrol-3-one). X4 has chromatographic properties resembling Reichstein's compound U (Δ4-pregnene-17α:20β:21-triol-3:11-dione).
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
