NORMALAUSSCHEIDUNG VON 17-KETOGENEN STEROIDEN

Abstract

ABSTRACT Based on 1811 single analyses values for the 24-hour excretion of 17-ketogenic steroids in normal subjects were determined. Of these analyses 843 were performed in normal males and 968 in normal females. All results were statistically evaluated and their diagram compared to a different excretion curve for normal persons. A statistically higher excretion of 17-ketogenic steroids could be demonstrated in normal male subjects as compared to values for normal female subjects. Advantages and disadvantages of the method for estimation of 17-ketogenic steroids in urine as reported by Norymberski et al. are discussed.
