Abstract
ZANDER1 has reported that “with the methods presently available it has never been found possible to demonstrate non-labelled progesterone or either of the Δ4-3-ketopregnene-ol-one isomers in the target tissues, uterine muscle and mucosa”. With the aid of gas-liquid phase chromatography we have isolated non-labelled progesterone from the human pregnant myometrium and this report deals with the method used and the concentrations of the steroid found.
