TL;DR
It was decided, therefore, to estimate the17-ketosteroid andpregnanediol concentrations of each specimen of urine collected during themenstrual cycles of anumber ofhirsute women and to report the results of these experiments.

Endome-trial studies conclude that progesterone is inefficiently utilized in patients with func-tional irregularities of uterine bleeding and no evidence was encountered that crystallineprogesterone was metabolized into sodium pregnandiol glucuronidate.

Sodium pregnandiol glucuroni-date was found only in pregnancy or in women with functioning endometriums, and it has now been demonstrated in the urine of 2 men suffering with Addison's disease who were treated with 30 mg of progesterone daily.

Since the comb of the domestic hen atrophies after ovariectomy and responds to male hormone but not to œstrone, its increase in size during the laying season presumably indicates production of androgenic substance by the active ovary.

The demonstration of the excretion of androgenic substances soon followed, and methods of assay were provided by the capon comb method and the colorimetric reaction of Zimmermann, and excretion products of progesterone were shown to appear in the urine.

It is felt that only when due consideration is given to such evolutionary factors as have here been instanced shall the authors get a true picture of the origin of many foot troubles or be able-to explain their distribution among the population-well shod, badlyShod, or even completely unshod.

The present work arose out of an attempt to improve existing methods and it was decided in the first place to employ the naphthoresorcinol reaction for estimating glucuronide, which was found to indicate the presence of glucuronidate, resembling NaPG closely in its solubility in butanol and its behaviour on entraiument, in great excess of the amount of NaPG which would be expected.
