Abstract：
:21-Hydroxypregnenolone and its metabolite 5-pregnene-3 beta, 20 alpha 21-triol have been measured in the sulfate fraction of neonatal urine. These two steroids are the major two 21-hydroxylated 5-pregnenes produced by neonates and are almost exclusively excreted as disulfates. The excretions of these steroids by normal infants and infants with 21-hydroxylase deficiency were compared. In addition to measurement of the absolute excretion, the excretion relative to the total 3 beta-hydroxy-5-ene output was also determined. The results show that 21-hydroxypregnenolone excretion is highly elevated in 21-hydroxylase deficiency (affected, mean 887 micrograms/24 h, range 453-1431 micrograms/24 h; normal, mean 117 micrograms/24 h, range 17-263 micrograms/24 h), but when compared to excretion of other delta 5 steroids the excretion is slightly low [(21-hydroxypregnenolone + 5-pregnene-3 beta, 20 alpha, 21-triol)/total 3-beta-hydroxy-5-ene steroids, 2.9% affected; 3.6% normal]. This difference was not statistically significant. There is thus no evidence that the 21-hydroxylase acting on pregnenolone is deficient in congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The explanation of the normal activity of "pregnenolone 21-hydroxylase," although not clearly defined, is probably associated with two recent findings by other workers: (a) that the human fetus has an active 21-hydroxylase distinct from the adrenal enzyme and (b) that a 21-hydroxylase structurally very different from the adrenal enzyme, with high activity towards pregnenolone (but no activity towards 17-hydroxyprogesterone), has been isolated from rabbit hepatic microsomes.
