Aromatase activity in the foetal rat testis was demonstrated by the conversion of [3H] testosterone into oestradiol. However, the conversion rate was low, around 0.06%, probably because the radioactive precursor was heavily diluted by the large amounts of endogenous testosterone
[Hypertensinogenic steroid].

We have reported that 19-hydroxyandrostenedione (19-OH-A-dione) amplifies the sodium-retaining action of aldosterone. To evaluate whether it also amplifies the hypertensive action of small doses of aldosterone, mononephrectomized rats were given 0.5 mg aldosterone, 10 mg 19-OH-A-dione or a combination of
The present study was performed to clarify changes in plasma levels of 19-hydroxyandrostenedione (19-OH-AD), an amplifier of aldosterone and a possible hypertensinogenic steroid, during several tests for the renin-angiotensin system in 20 patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and to determine
In order to evaluate the hypertensinogenic action of 19-hydroxyandrostenedione (19-OH-AD), which has been reported to be an amplifier of mineralocorticoid, the changes in several humoral factors were observed in 19-OH-AD treated rats as compared to those in DOCA hypertensive rats.
