A 3H-labeled 3α-hydroxy-Δ5 steroid was isolated from the pooled glucuronidase-hydrolyzed extracts of urine collected from 6 healthy young men, aged 22–30, 3 of whom had received a tracer dose of pregnenolone-7α-3H (3β-Hydroxy- Δ5-pregnen-20-one) intravenously.

With the exception that elderly subjects converted a significantly greater percentage of Δ4-17-OHP to P-triol, aging had no effect on age-related radioactivity in young and elderly men.
