Progesterone metabolism in newborn rat heart cell cultures
Abstract:
Progesterone metabolism was studied in newborn rat heart cell cultures. The following enzymatic activities have been identified: 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 3 alpha- and 5 alpha-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductases, and 6 alpha-hydroxylate. These activities are independent of sex and are probably related to the neonatal origin of the cells.
