Steroid excretion and metabolism by gonadal tissue from a subject with testicular feminization syndrome
AUTOR(ES)
Lockwood, E.
RESUMO
The initial clinical, pathological, and hormonal investigation of a patient with testicular feminization syndrome is described. Incubation of gonadal tissue with various radioactive substrates, together with the isolation and identification of the resulting metabolites, was demonstrated a high capacity to synthesize testosterone.
