THE EXCRETION OF PREGNANEDIOL BY OVARIECTOMIZED ADRENALECTOMIZED WOMEN

BETTY J. ALLEN, D. G. CHALMERS and W. H. H. MERIVALE

Two women, who had undergone bilateral ovariectomy and adrenalectomy for carcinomatosis secondary to primary growths of the breast, received 100 mg progesterone in arachis oil intramuscularly for 3 days. Estimations of pregnane-3({alpha}):20({alpha})-diol, total 17-ketosteroids and dehydroisoandrosterone and its derivatives were made on 24 hr urine specimens collected for a control period, while the patients received progesterone, and for 3 days afterwards. Both patients excreted increased amounts of pregnane-3({alpha}):20({alpha})-diol and one excreted increased amounts of 17-ketosteroids and dehydroisoandrosterone and its derivatives.
