Abstract
The echinoderms Asterias rubens and Marthasterias glacialis metabolize injected [4-14C]progesterone to give labelled 3β-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one and 3β,6α-dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one. These radioactive products are converted by the animals into conjugated forms that are soluble in aqueous methanol, and which have mobilities on t.l.c. similar to the asterosaponins.
