N A Iudaev, and S A Afinogenova, and N P Goncharov, and G V Katsiia

In experiments in vitro corticosteroid formation from radioactive cholesterol in tha adrenal glands of monkeys (Macaca rhesus) was studied. A conclusion was drawn that pregnenolone and its hydroxy-derivatives were of the leading significance in the cortizol and corticosterone synthesis in the adrenal glands of monkeys. Progesteron was produced in insignificant amounts and was almost unutilized for steroidogenesis. The formation of 17.21-dioxypregnenolone was revealed; its role in the capacity of cortizol precursor was proved; 17-oryprogesteron was found to be of no great significance in cortizol synthesis; 21-oxypregnenolone, but not progesteron proved to serve as the principal intermediate product in corticosterone formation.

D011284 Pregnenolone A 21-carbon steroid, derived from CHOLESTEROL and found in steroid hormone-producing tissues. Pregnenolone is the precursor to GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and the adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS. 5-Pregnen-3-beta-ol-20-one,5 Pregnen 3 beta ol 20 one
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS. Pregnenedione,Progesterone, (13 alpha,17 alpha)-(+-)-Isomer,Progesterone, (17 alpha)-Isomer,Progesterone, (9 beta,10 alpha)-Isomer
D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D003345 Corticosterone An adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. (From Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1437)
D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.

D006889 Hydroxycorticosteroids A group of corticosteroids carrying hydroxy groups, usually in the 11- or 17-positions. They comprise the bulk of the corticosteroids used systemically. As they are relatively insoluble in water, salts of various esterified forms are often used for injections or solutions.
D006907 17-alpha-Hydroxypregnenolone A 21-carbon steroid that is converted from PREGNENOLONE by STEROID 17-ALPHA-HYDROXYLASE. It is an intermediate in the delta-5 pathway of biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and the adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS. 17 alpha-Hydroxypregnenolone,17-Hydroxypregnenolone,17-Hydroxypregnenolone, (3alpha)-Isomer,17-Hydroxypregnenolone, (3beta,13alpha)-Isomer,17-Hydroxypregnenolone, (3beta,13alpha,17alpha)-Isomer,17-Hydroxypregnenolone, (3beta,17alpha)-Isomer,17alpha-Hydroxypregnenolone,Hydroxypregnenolone,17 Hydroxypregnenolone,17 alpha Hydroxypregnenolone,17alpha Hydroxypregnenolone
