Summary
In liver-tissue of female rats estradiol-17 α-T is oxydized by NAD or NADP, yielding the tritiumlabelled coenzymes NAD-T or NADP-T which can transfer the tritium to androstendione. So tritium-labelled androstandiol is obtained. Of the added activity 10–30% is oxydized to water. In diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatomas estradiol-17 α-T is oxydized to tritium-water in a comparatively small amount and no transport of the tritium to reduction-products of androstendions occurs. Testing the in-vivo-oxydation of estradiol in normal female rats and in females with hepatoma with the aid of the ‘Stoffwechsel-labil’ labelling (measuring the specific activity of tritium in body-water after injecting estradiol-17 α-T) a lower oxydation-rate was also found in rats with hepatoma than in normal rats.
