Abstract

1. Evidence was obtained for the presence of 16α-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione in each adrenal venous blood sample collected from eight young pigs under conditions of operative stress.

2. The chemical identity of this steroid was tested on μg amounts by paper and gas chromatographic methods before and after the formation of derivatives.
