Splanchnic Extraction and Interconversion of Testosterone and Androstenedione in Man

Abstract

A constant infusion of 3H-testosterone and 14C-androstenedione was administered to four human subjects, two males and two females, until the concentrations of radioactive testosterone and androstenedione in systemic plasma became constant. At that time the concentrations of radioactive testosterone and androstenedione in hepatic vein plasma were determined. Splanchnic extraction of testosterone and androstenedione and the contribution of the splanchnic system to the blood interconversion of testosterone and androstenedione were calculated.
