Progesterone metabolism in the murine submandibular salivary gland.
Homogenates of submandibular salivary glands from female mice were incubated with progesterone. This resulted in the formation of 20 alpha-hydroxy-progesterone, thus indicating the presence of the enzyme, 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
