ABSTRACT The 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in intact erythrocytes of Nigerian patients, in particular with regard to haemoglobin genotypes and G6PD* activity was studied. The G6PD activity of the erythrocyte did not affect the oxidative transformation of testosterone to androstenedione and of oestradiol to oestrone. The reduction (reverse transformation) was inhibited in G6PD-deficient erythrocytes but this inhibition was offset by the addition of 0.025 m glucose to the incubation medium. The per cent oxidation transformation of testosterone was higher in Hb-AA than in Hb-SS erythrocytes. It is suggested that the differences may be a result of either lower enzyme activity in the Hb-SS erythrocytes or of differences in the uptake and possibly binding of sex steroids by intact Hb-SS and Hb-AA erythrocytes.
