Conversion of 7α,12α-dihydroxycholest-4-en-3-one to 5α-cholestane-3α,7α,12α-triol by iguana liver microsomes
The role of 7α,l2α-dihydroxycholest-4-en-3-one as an intermediate in the formation of 5α-bile acids from cholesterol was investigated with liver preparations of Iguana iguana in vitro. The microsomal fraction of iguana liver catalyzed the transformation of 7α,12α-dihydroxycholest-4-en-3-one to 5α-ch...
