Abstract
RESEARCH on the excretion of urinary steroids has been handicapped by the lack of a procedure for hydrolysing steroidal conjugates without simultaneous partial destruction or transformation of the released steroids. We have therefore compared the urinary neutral 17-ketosteroids obtained by various methods of hydrolysis and extraction (for example, Talbot et al.1, Hamburger2, Beher and Gaebler3).
