IN a previous paper (Dingemanse, Huis in ât Veld and De Laat1), we reported that we had detected, by means of a chromatographic-colorimetric method, a new 17-ketosteroid in the urine of patients suffering from a dysfunction of the adrenal cortex. This 17-ketosteroid, to which we refer in this paper as 17-ketosteroid II, occurs in the urine of normal individuals, as a rule, in small quantities only, and may be completely absent. Considerable amounts, however, have been found in the urine of persons with âvirilizing' tumours and with hyperplasias of the adrenal cortex.
在之前的一篇论文(Dingemanse, Huis in ât Veld and De Laat1)中,我们报告说,通过色谱比色法,我们在肾上腺皮质功能障碍患者的尿液中检测到了一种新的17-
酮类固醇。这种 17-
酮类固醇在本文中被称为 17-
酮类固醇 II,通常只出现在正常人的尿液中,数量很少,甚至可能完全不存在。然而,在患有 "病毒性 "肿瘤和肾上腺皮质增生症的人的尿液中却发现了大量的这种物质。
