ISOLIERUNG VON DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERON AUS MENSCHLICHEM SPERMA

Abstract
266 ml of human sperm were extracted with butanol and the extracts hydrolyzed with helix pomatia. After chromatography on Al2O3, a 17-oxo-steroid was found which was identified as dehydroepiandrosterone by its melting point, paper chromatography, and the sulfuric acid-water reaction. The concentration of dehydroepiandrosterone was found to be 6.9 [mu]g/lOO ml.
