Abstract
Summary
Testosterone and total 17 ketosteroids were measured in 24-hour urine samples of normal Caucasian women, normal oriental women, and patients with idiopathic hirsutism. Testosterone excretion ranged from 3–18 μg/day and did not vary significantly from group to group. The total 17 ketosteroid excretion was higher, on the average, in the hirsute patients, but the difference was not statistically significant. There was a low correlation between testosterone excretion and 17 ketosteroid excretion for the total group.
