Abstract

Human adrenals obtained up to 12 h after death, were homogenized and used as a 11β-hydroxylase preparation. Two kinds of incubations, each containing 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) and 11-deoxycortisol (compound S) as substrates, were performed. One incubation was carried out at various temperatures (25-38°C) and the other using a heat inhibition method. The results indicate a difference in the hydroxylation of 11-deoxycortisol to cortisol (compound F) and 11-deoxycorticosterone to corticosterone (compound B).
