1. The substrate conversion of [4-(14)C]progesterone and [4-(14)C]oestradiol during incubation with the liver microsomal fraction from both control and clofibrate-treated rats amounted to about 10-15 and 20-25% respectively. 2. The metabolites of progesterone formed by preparations from control rats were hydroxylated in the 16alpha-position (14%), the 6beta-position (12%) and the 2alpha-position (7%). Of the products formed from oestradiol 12% were recovered as a 16alpha-hydroxylated derivative whereas 5% had a 6beta- and 2% a 6alpha-hydroxyl group. 3. Clofibrate affected the microsomal metabolism of both progesterone and oestradiol. It induced 7alpha-hydroxylation of both compounds, metabolic conversions not found in control rats. The 6beta-hydroxylation of progesterone and the 6alpha-hydroxylation of oestradiol were enhanced by a factor of 2 and 3.5 respectively. The 2alpha-hydroxylation, and the 20alpha- and 20beta-hydroxy steroid reduction of progesterone were significantly decreased as were the 16alpha- and the 6beta-hydroxylation of oestradiol.
