Steroid dimer formation: metal reduction of methyl androst-4-ene-3, 17-dion-19-oate.

abstract：:Bile acid conjugates are found in human breast cyst fluid in average concentrations about 50-fold greater than those in blood. Because epidemiologic studies have linked colon and breast cancer and aberrant bile acid profiles are associated with colon cancer risk, we decided to study the influence of bile acid conjugat...
