Popis: From the plasma of a patient with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to a 21-hydroxylase defect an acid-fluorescent steroid was isolated whose chromatographic mobility in 2 systems was identical to 21-deoxycortisol. The retention time observed when gas-liquid chromatography was performed on the isolated steroid (3 per cent SE-30 column) was the same as that obtained when authentic 21-deoxycortisol was chromatographed on the same column. In addition, the UV spectrum of the sample was in good agreement with that of the reference compound. The adrenal secretion of 21-deoxycortisol in this form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia has been suspected but its detection in human plasma has not been previously reported.
