ABSTRACT Pregnenolone-sulphate (400 mg) was perfused through isolated dog livers. The following steroids were isolated in the perfusate: pregnenolone, progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, androst-5-ene-diol and the two steroid conjugates, i. e. pregnenolone-sulphate and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate. Two »free« steroids and one steroid conjugate could not be characterized. A tentative scheme for the metabolic pathways of pregnenolone-sulphate is presented.

How core biological metabolism initiated and why it uses the intermediates, reactions and pathways that it does remains unclear. Life builds its molecules from CO<sub>2 </sub>and breaks them down to CO<sub>2 </sub>again through the intermediacy of just five metabolites that act as the hubs of biochemistry. Here, we describe a purely chemical reaction network promoted by Fe<sup>2+ </sup>in which aqueous pyruvate and glyoxylate, two products of abiotic CO<sub>2 </sub>reduction, build up nine of the eleven TCA cycle intermediates, including all five universal metabolic precursors. The intermediates simultaneously break down to CO<sub>2 </sub>in a life-like regime resembling biological anabolism and catabolism. Introduction of hydroxylamine and Fe<sup>0 </sup>produces four biological amino acids. The network significantly overlaps the TCA/rTCA and glyoxylate cycles and may represent a prebiotic precursor to these core metabolic pathways.

The safe ice cream which is consumed by Diabetes Mellitus sufferers is made by subtituting skim milk, cream and sugar with kefir, pure pumpkin, cornstarch, vegetable oil, and artificial sweetener special gor Diabetes Mellitus. Kefir is known can decrease (blood sugar) because of its bioactive content. The aim of this research is knowing predilection level test to ice cream pumpkin kefir. This research is conducted with experimental method. The data analysis includes predilection test, nutrient value analysis, and price analysis. Ice cream pumpkin kefir that is liked most are from texture side, the cheapest price, and also the highest fiber content exists in balance 578 with the ratio of kefir and pumpkin 50%:50%. Ice cream pumpkin kefir that is liked most from colour side exists in balance 236 with the ratio of kefir and pure pumpkin 70%:30%. Ice cream pumpkin kefir that is liked most from taste side and aroma exists in balance 522 with the ratio between kefir and pure pumpkin 80%:20%.
