Abstract
⺠We examined the activities of the 5α-reductase and 17,20-lyase in patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency. ⺠We used urinary steroid metabolomics obtained by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. ⺠The 5α-reductase is the gatekeeper of the backdoor pathway. ⺠The 17,20-lyase is the regulator of the flux through the androgen pathways.
