Résumé
In brown adipose tissue of alp-marmot (Marmota marmota), badger (Meles meles) and Wistar rats steroids of C21- and C19-type are identified and quantified. The detection of 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 alpha-pregnan-20-one, 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 beta-pregnan-20-one, 3 alpha,21-dihydroxy-5 alpha-pregnan-20-one, 3 alpha,21-dihydroxy-5 beta-pregnan-20-one and 3 beta,21-dihydroxy-5 alpha-pregnan-20-one is of special interest since sleep-inducing properties have been described with these steroids.
