In vitro metabolism of 4-androstene-3,17-dione by human submaxillary gland homogenates

J C Coffey et al. J Dent Res. 1977 Mar.

Abstract

Tritiated 4-androstene-3,17-dione was incubated with human submaxillary gland homogenates. In 180-minute incubations, human submaxillary gland converted 4-androstene-3,17-dione predominately to testosterone and to a lesser extent, 5alpha-androstane-3alpha,17beta-diol and androsterone.
