Seven anorexia nervosa (A.N.) patients had reduced urinary excretion values of tetrahydrocortisone (THE), androsterone (A) and 5alpha-tetrahydrocortisol (5alpha-THF). THE to tetrahydrocortisol (THF), A to aetiocholanolone (Ae) and 5alpha-THF to THF ratios were all significantly reduced. Six A.N. patients had oral metyrapone tests with quantitatively normal but delayed urinary 3alpha,17alpha,21-trihydroxy-5beta-pregnan-20-one (THS) response. The steroid determinations were done by capillary gaschromatography, which proves to be of value in the study of the above mentioned metabolic abnormalities.
七名神经性厌食症(A.N.)患者的四氢皮质醇(THE)、雄酮(A)和5α-四氢皮质醇(5α-THF)尿排泄值降低。THE与四氢皮质醇(THF)的比值、A与本胆烷醇酮(Ae)的比值以及5α-THF与THF的比值均显著降低。六名A.N.患者进行了口服甲吡酮试验,尿中3α,17α,21-三羟基-5β-孕烷-20-酮(THS)的反应在数量上正常但延迟。类固醇测定采用毛细管气相色谱法,该方法在上述代谢异常的研究中被证明具有价值。
