Popis: The metabolism of 4-C14-17α-hydroxyprogesterone, injected intravenously into 6 endocrinologically normal women (3 with bile fistulas), was essentially like that described previously by other investigators for large quantities of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone. Differences from reported results were the presence of tetrahydrocortisone, the absence of significant amounts of androgenic 17-ketosteroids, and the predominance of Pregnane-3α, 17α-diol-20-one over pregnanetriol in the urine. The biliary metabolites, reported here for the first time, were similar to those in the urine. The endogenous daily production of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone was calculated to be approximately 2 mg.
