Abstract
PREVIOUS in vivo experiments in man have shown that the formation of water-soluble conjugates of aldosterone is a very important part of its metabolism1. These investigators have also demonstrated the presence of a urinary conjugate of aldosterone which is split by mild acid hydrolysis and which has been designated the ‘3-oxo-conjugate’1. In addition, the discovery of urinary tetrahydro aldosterone and glucuronide conjugates of this compound reveals that glucuronides of aldosterone are of great importance in the metabolism of this compound2–4.
