Formation of a steroidal allyl alcohol in the mammary glands of mice.
After incubation of [4-14C]progesterone with cell-free homogenates of mouse mammary gland in the presence of NADPH, [14C]-labeled 4-pregnene-3alpha, 20alpha-diol was identified as a metabolite, besides 20alpha-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3-one which was the major metabolite.
