After injection of [4-14C]progesterone into rabbits, 62% of the radioactivity recovered from the urine after hydrolysis is extractable from ether into sodium bicarbonate solution. Treatment of these acidic metabolites with potassium borohydride, followed by sodium bismuthate, yields neutral material which can be separated into three zones by thin-layer chromatography. The most polar zone, accounting for 61% of the radioactivity recovered from the plate, consists of epimers of 3,6-dihydroxyandrostan17-al.
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.
