“…An aliquot of each eluate was acetylated and run in the Bush 3b system (Bush, 1961). In the case of RA (1), another aliquot of each eluate was oxidized with sodium bismuthate and run in the Smith VI system (Smith, Foell, De Maio, and Halwer, 1959), and aliquots of the most polar region from RA (1), RA (3) and Db (2) were run in the Smith II system (Smith and others, 1959). For further identification of cortisol, cortisone, 20a-dihydrocortisol, 2013-dihydrocortisol, 20adihydrocortisone, and 20P-dihydrocortisone, larger aliquots of the extracts were chromatographed and the named steroids isolated as their acetates.…”
