Popis: AS a consequence of the more than occasional finding of increased urinary 17-ketogenic steroid excretion in selected obese patients during the past four years, it was considered worth while to expand further and document this observation by urinary steroid determinations in a larger number of consecutive, unselected obese patients and a concurrent control group of healthy persons of normal weight. This resolve was strengthened by published reports of a higher than normal average urinary 17-hydroxy-corticosteroid output in a small group of obese men1 and increased 17-ketogenic steroid excretion in obese children.2 A final factor prompting this study was the frequent . . .
