SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF 17-OXOSTEROIDS AND 17-HYDROXYCORTICOSTEROIDS IN PLASMA FROM NORMAL WOMEN

Abstract
SUMMARY: The method of Deshpande & Bulbrook (1964) for the determination of total 17-oxosteroids and 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS) in blood has been employed in a study of fifty-two normal women of different ages. The results show that there is a significant correlation between age and the plasma levels of 17-oxosteroids and 17-OHCS. Contrary to similar studies on urines, no other parameter gave a significant correlation. Factors which might control the relative amounts of plasma 17-oxosteroids and 17-OHCS are discussed.
