title: [Steroids of human thymi (author's transl)].
abstract: Analysis of human thymus steroids by liquid-gel chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed in dependence of age 4-pregnene-3,20-dione, 11 beta-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione, 7 beta-hydroxycholesterol, and 7-ketocholesterol. 11 beta-Hydroxy-pregnene-3,20-dione should be the inhibitor of immune maturation.
