Pregnenolone and progesterone metabolism by the testes of Bufo arenarum

Sliced testis tissue from Bufo arenarum was incubated in the presence of [3H]pregnenolone. Testis fragments were also used for double isotope experiments using [3H]pregnenolone and [14C]progesterone. Specific activities were equated with the addition of radioinert pregnenolone. When yields of radiom...

520 3 |a Sliced testis tissue from Bufo arenarum was incubated in the presence of [3H]pregnenolone. Testis fragments were also used for double isotope experiments using [3H]pregnenolone and [14C]progesterone. Specific activities were equated with the addition of radioinert pregnenolone. When yields of radiometabolites were analysed, pregnenolone was found to be a good precursor for C19 steroids such as dehydroepiandrosterone, 5-androsten-3β,17β diol, testosterone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone and a C21 steroid, 5α-pregnan-3,20 dione. Progesterone mainly converts to 5α-pregnan-3,20 dione, asteroid with unknown function in amphibians. The 5-ene pathway, including 5-androsten-3β,17β diol as intermediate, could be predominant for androgen biosynthesis. Testes bypass not only progesterone but also androstenedione for testosterone biosynthesis.  |l eng
