Abstract

Distribution and metabolism of testosterone were studied in male and female rats. While no differences between sexes were observed in the hormone distribution to liver, kidney, spleen, heart, adipose tissue, muscle, brain and adrenal, male liver was found to metabolize testosterone mainly to polar compounds; female liver mainly to A-ring reduced compounds.

2. [Oestrogens in the stimulation of adrenal steroid production in the rat].

Abstract

Chronic administration of oestradiol has several times been reported as leading to stimulation of in vitro adrenal hydroxylative activity in the rat. It is now shown that acute stimulation is also possible, provided ACTH is present in the system. Synthetic oestrogens with metabolic activity equivalent to that of oestradiol, however, are incapable of stimulating steroid production. It is clear that the mechanism of action of oestrogens is extremely complicated as far as the adrenal glands are concerned.
