摘要
Different cellular fractions of guinea-pig placenta were incubated in the presence of (7n-3H) testosterone. Microsomal aromatization of 3H-testosterone into estrone and estradiol-17β was demonstrated in the presence of NADPH. The predominance of estrone after incubation with 17β-hydroxylated precursors, (7n-3H) testosterone and (6,7-3H) estradiol-17β, indicate that there is a microsomal 17β-hydroxysterold dehydrogenase activity. In this report, cytosolic sulfurylation of estrogens is demonstrated. This latter activity represents a quite original characteristic of the placental metabolism of estrogens in guinea-pigs. In contrast with the human placenta where there is considerable sulfatase activity, the guinea-pig placenta can sulfurylate estrogens. © 1978.
