Abstract
Following the adm. of 1.2 g. of testosterone propionate to a normal [female], 25.7% of the administered hormone was recovered from the urine as androsterone, etiocholanol-3([alpha])-one-17 and [LAMBDA]2 or 3-androstenone-17. A small quantity of a non-ketonic substance melting at 217-221[degree]C. was obtained. It is quite likely that this substance is androstanediol-3([alpha])-17([alpha]). It is difficult to say whether this compound is a metabolite of testosterone.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
