Abstract
After incubation of testosterone with 105000g microsomes of human foetal liver, 6alpha-hydroxytestosterone was isolated and identified by t.l.c. and g.l.c.-mass spectrometry. This is the first example of 6alpha-hydroxylation of C(19) steroids in the human liver, and the finding is discussed in relation to earlier reports of 6-oxygenated C(19) and C(18) steroids in pregnant women.Entities:
