Abstract
The ability of stallion testis, human term placenta and a human feminizing adrenal cortical carcinoma to convert C14-testosterone to C14 -labeled estrogenic steroids has been demonstrated. The relationship between this conversion and the biosynthesis of estrogens by these tissues has been discussed.Keywords
