CHARACTERIZATION OF HORMONAL STEROIDS OF THE CHIMPANZEE

Abstract

This report attempts to establish the qualitative and quantitative nature of steroid hormones of the chimpanzee, and to report changes observed in adrenal cortical functions during simulated and actual space flights. Steroid determinations made include: Blood: plasma 17-hydroxycorticos teroids (17-OHCS) and cholesterol; Urine: 17-OHCS, 17-ketosteroids (17-KS), estrone, estradiol, estriol, pregnanediol, pregnanetriol, and aldo sterone. Quantitative chromatography of 17-KS was also accomplished. Analyses were made on both the mature and immature chimpanzee.
