Axilla

The axilla (axillae or axillas; also known as the armpit, underarm or oxter) is the area on the human body directly under the shoulder joint.

See Androstadienol and Axilla

Biosynthesis

Biosynthesis, i.e., chemical synthesis occuring in biological contexts, is a term most often referring to multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where chemical substances absorbed as nutrients (or previously converted through biosynthesis) serve as enzyme substrates, with conversion by the living organism either into simpler or more complex products.

See Androstadienol and Biosynthesis

Body odor

Body odor or body odour (BO) is present in all animals and its intensity can be influenced by many factors (behavioral patterns, survival strategies).

See Androstadienol and Body odor

Corynebacterium

Corynebacterium is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria and most are aerobic.

See Androstadienol and Corynebacterium

Corynebacterium xerosis

Corynebacterium xerosis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium in the genus Corynebacterium.

CYP17A1

Cytochrome P450 17A1 (steroid 17α-monooxygenase, 17α-hydroxylase, 17-alpha-hydroxylase, 17,20-lyase, 17,20-desmolase) is an enzyme of the hydroxylase type that in humans is encoded by the CYP17A1 gene on chromosome 10.

Endogeny (biology)

Endogenous substances and processes are those that originate from within a living system such as an organism, tissue, or cell.

Estratetraenol

Estratetraenol, also known as estra-1,3,5(10),16-tetraen-3-ol, is an endogenous steroid found in women that has been described as having pheromone-like activities in primates, including humans. Androstadienol and Estratetraenol are human pheromones, mammalian pheromones and neurosteroids.

Gay men

Gay men are male homosexuals.

Heterosexuality

Heterosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between people of the opposite sex or gender.

See Androstadienol and Heterosexuality

Human sexual activity

Human sexual activity, human sexual practice or human sexual behaviour is the manner in which humans experience and express their sexuality.

Perspiration

Perspiration, also known as sweat, is the fluid secreted by sweat glands in the skin of mammals.

Pheromone

A pheromone is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species.

Pregnenolone

Pregnenolone (P5), or pregn-5-en-3β-ol-20-one, is an endogenous steroid and precursor/metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of most of the steroid hormones, including the progestogens, androgens, estrogens, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids. Androstadienol and Pregnenolone are neurosteroids.
