Adrenosterone

Index Adrenosterone

Adrenosterone, also known as Reichstein's substance G, as well as 11-ketoandrostenedione (11-KA4), 11-oxoandrostenedione (11-OXO), and androst-4-ene-3,11,17-trione, is a steroid hormone with an extremely weak androgenic effect, and an intermediate/prohormone of 11-ketotestosterone. [1]

Adrenal cortex

The adrenal cortex is the outer region and also the largest part of the adrenal gland.

See Adrenosterone and Adrenal cortex

Androgen

An androgen (from Greek andr-, the stem of the word meaning "man") is any natural or synthetic steroid hormone that regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors. Adrenosterone and androgen are Anabolic–androgenic steroids and sex hormones.

See Adrenosterone and Androgen

Cortisol

Cortisol is a steroid hormone in the glucocorticoid class of hormones and a stress hormone. Adrenosterone and Cortisol are steroid hormones.

See Adrenosterone and Cortisol

Cortisone

Cortisone is a pregnene (21-carbon) steroid hormone. Adrenosterone and Cortisone are Triketones.

See Adrenosterone and Cortisone

Dietary supplement

A dietary supplement is a manufactured product intended to supplement a person's diet by taking a pill, capsule, tablet, powder, or liquid.

See Adrenosterone and Dietary supplement

Metabolic intermediate

Metabolic intermediates are molecules that are the precursors or metabolites of biologically significant molecules.

See Adrenosterone and Metabolic intermediate

Prohormone

A prohormone is a committed precursor of a hormone consisting of peptide hormones synthesized together that has a minimal hormonal effect by itself because of its expression-suppressing structure, often created by protein folding and binding additional peptide chains to certain ends, that makes hormone receptor binding sites located on its peptide hormone chain segments inaccessible.

See Adrenosterone and Prohormone

Steroid hormone

A steroid hormone is a steroid that acts as a hormone. Adrenosterone and steroid hormone are steroid hormones.

Tadeusz Reichstein

Tadeusz Reichstein (20 July 1897 – 1 August 1996), also known as Tadeus Reichstein, was a Polish-Swiss chemist and the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine laureate (1950), which was awarded for his work on the isolation of cortisone.

University of Basel

The University of Basel (Latin: Universitas Basiliensis, German: Universität Basel) is a public research university in Basel, Switzerland.

11-Ketodihydrotestosterone

11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (11-KDHT), also known as 5α-androstan-17β-ol-3,11-dione, is an endogenous, naturally occurring steroid and androgen prohormone that is produced primarily, if not exclusively, in the adrenal glands. Adrenosterone and 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone are Anabolic–androgenic steroids, Androstanes, hormones of the suprarenal cortex, sex hormones and steroid hormones.

See Adrenosterone and 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone

11-Ketotestosterone

11-Ketotestosterone (11-KT) is an oxidized form of testosterone that contains a keto group at the C11 position. Adrenosterone and 11-Ketotestosterone are Anabolic–androgenic steroids, Androstanes, hormones of the suprarenal cortex, sex hormones and steroid hormones.

See Adrenosterone and 11-Ketotestosterone

11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione

11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione (11β-OHA4), also known as 11β-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, is an endogenous, naturally occurring steroid and androgen prohormone that is produced primarily, if not exclusively, in the adrenal glands. Adrenosterone and 11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione are Anabolic–androgenic steroids, Androstanes, hormones of the suprarenal cortex, sex hormones and steroid hormones.

See Adrenosterone and 11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione

11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD-11β or 11β-HSD) enzymes catalyze the conversion of inert 11 keto-products (cortisone) to active cortisol, or vice versa, thus regulating the access of glucocorticoids to the steroid receptors.
