Sunde, A. et al.

Metabolism of 5 alpha-androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol to 17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3-one and 5 alpha-androstan-3 alpha,17 beta-diol in the rat.

Significant metabolism of 5 alpha-androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol to 17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3-one was recorded in several tissues and organs from rats and humans. This bioconversion was further investigated in rat testis homogenates. 5 alpha-Androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol was readily metabolized to 17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3-one with NAD and/or NADP added as cofactors. When a NADPH generating system was included in the incubation, 5 alpha-androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol was metabolized to 5 alpha-androstan-3 alpha,17 beta-diol. Only small amounts of 17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3-one accumulated under the latter condition.[1]
