Homogenates of cerebral metastatic chorionepithelioma tissue were incubated with labelled dehydroepiandrosterone, pregnenolone or 20α-hydroxypregn-4-en-3-one. The metabolites of dehydroepiandrosterone which were isolated and identified were androstenedione, testosterone, oestrone and oestradiol; no oestriol was detected. The only metabolite of pregnenolone and 20α-hydroxypregn-4-en-3-one isolated and identified was progesterone. No conversion of C-21 to C-19 steroids occurred in the metastatic chorionepithelioma tissue.
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.
