| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Biological Metabolism]
The in vitro perfusion of the human placental lobule with 7-ethoxycoumarin gives 7-hydroxycoumarin, and perfusion with androstenedione gives the conversion products, estrone, estradiol, and testosterone. The human placenta has only a limited capacity for the metabolism of xenobiotics.
