Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10718654

The CYP3A subfamily catalyzes the formation of stereoisomer 6α-hydroxycortisol (6α-OHF) from cortisol. The metabolite is then excreted in the urine. Therefore, the urinary excretion ratio 6α-OHF/cortisol might be used as a non-invasive index for evaluating the in vivo CYP3A activity in humans.
