ABSTRACT Testosterone (T) and 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) concentrations in spermatic and peripheral venous blood obtained from six men have been measured by radioimmunoassay and competitive protein binding assay respectively. The concentrations (mean ± sd) of DHT in the spermatic vein (0.64 ± 0.33 μg/100 ml) were higher than that found in the cubital vein (0.025 ± 0.01 μg/100 ml). These results demonstrate the production of DHT by the human testis.

1. A competitive protein-binding assay for plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol was developed, using Sephadex LH-20 columns for the isolation of the sterol and a partially purified protein from rat serum as the binding protein. 2. The mean plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in eighteen male and female normal volunteers was 38 ± SD 14 pmol/ml (15–2 ± 5–6 ng/ml). 3. Levels of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in plasma of four male volunteers maintained for 2 months on a diet supplemented with 26·1 nmol (10 μg) of cholecalciferol a day were found to be significantly higher. 4. High correlation was established between plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol values obtained by the competitive protein-binding assay and values obtained by bioassay.
