Specific activities were determined for cortisol and its metabolites isolated from several successive urine samples collected from patients who had each received a single injection of a tracer dose of [4-14C]cortisol. Some theoretical aspects of the curves relating specific activity to time after injection are considered.
Evidence is presented and discussed for an alternative route to the 11-oxygenated 17-oxosteroid metabolites of cortisol probably involving not an initial reduction of the ring A of cortisol but a simultaneous cleavage of the side-chain at C-17 of the steroid nucleus and reduction of ring A.
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.
