Notes:
Histochemical localization of HSD activity was investigated in sebaceous glands in skin of rat, guinea-pig, hamster and gerbil. Rat preputial gland, hamster costovertebral organ and gerbil ventral gland were also used. Rat skin and preputial gland showed HSD activity with DHA. oestradiol and 5-androstene-3β-16β-diol-3 methyl ether substrates while testosterone was poorly utilized in the 17β-HSD reaction.Guinea-pig lip sebaceous glands showed HSD activity with DHA, oestradiol, testosterone and 5-androstene-3β-16β-diol-3 methyl ether. None of the other tissues showed convincing HSD activity with any of the substrates used.
