The studies presented herein were undertaken to discern if modifications of the steroidogenic pathway occur during ovine fetal adrenal development. Isolated adrenal cells from 120-day-old fetuses (controls), 120-day-old fetuses which were perfused for 5 days with ACTH (ACTH-treated), and newborn lambs were incubated. with 14C-labeled pregnenolone [3β-hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one (P5)]. The time courses (30, 60, 90, and 120 min) of P5 disappearance and the formation of labeled progesterone, 11-deoxycorticosterone (21-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione), corticosterone, 17α-hydroxypregnenolone (3β,17α-dihydroxy-5-pregnene-20-one), 17α-dihydroxyprogesterone (17α-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3-one), 11-deoxycortisol (17α,21-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione), and cortisol were measured. The rate of P5, disappearance from the medium was much slower in control fetuses than in ACTH-treated fetuses or newborn lambs. In control fetuses, after 2 h, only 45% of P5 had disappeared, of which more than 85% was metabolized through the 17-de...
