After injection of [4-14C]17α-hydroxyprogesterone into the umbilical vein of two male human foetuses at mid-pregnancy a number of steroid conjugates were isolated from the foetal adrenals, liver, intestines and residual tissues, confirming the capacity of the human foetus to conjugate an extensive range of steroid substrates. The conjugated steroids isolated were 17α-hydroxypregnanolone sulphate (liver, intestine), 3β,17α-dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one sulphate (residue), pregnanetriol sulphate (liver, residue), cortisol sulphate (adrenal), pregnanetriol glucosiduronate (liver, residue) and 17α-hydroxypregnanolone glucosiduronate (liver).
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.
