Anabolism

Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that construct macromolecules like DNA or RNA from smaller units.

See Androstadienone and Anabolism

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.

See Androstadienone and Androgen

Androstadienol

Androstadienol, or androsta-5,16-dien-3β-ol, is a 16-androstene class endogenous steroid, pheromone, and chemical intermediate to several other pheromones that is found in the sweat of both men and women. Androstadienone and Androstadienol are androstanes, human pheromones, mammalian pheromones and neurosteroids.

See Androstadienone and Androstadienol

Androstenol

Androstenol, also known as 5α-androst-16-en-3α-ol (shortened to 3α,5α-androstenol or 3α-androstenol), is a 16-androstene class steroidal pheromone and neurosteroid in humans and other mammals, notably pigs. Androstadienone and Androstenol are androstanes, Cyclopentenes, human pheromones, mammalian pheromones and neurosteroids.

See Androstadienone and Androstenol

Androstenone

Androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) is a 16-androstene class steroidal pheromone. Androstadienone and Androstenone are androstanes, human pheromones, mammalian pheromones and neurosteroids.

See Androstadienone and Androstenone

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 Androstadienone and Biosynthesis

Endogeny (biology)

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

See Androstadienone and Endogeny (biology)

Gay men

Gay men are male homosexuals.

See Androstadienone and Gay men

Heterosexuality

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

See Androstadienone and Heterosexuality

HuffPost

HuffPost (The Huffington Post until 2017; often abbreviated as HuffPo) is an American progressive news website, with localized and international editions.

Pheromone

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

Scientific American

Scientific American, informally abbreviated SciAm or sometimes SA, is an American popular science magazine.

Sex hormone

Sex hormones, also known as sex steroids, gonadocorticoids and gonadal steroids, are steroid hormones that interact with vertebrate steroid hormone receptors.

See Androstadienone and Sex hormone

Steroid

A steroid is an organic compound with four fused rings (designated A, B, C, and D) arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

16-Androstene

16-Androstenes, or androst-16-enes, are a class of endogenous androstane steroids that includes androstadienol, androstadienone, androstenone, and androstenol, which are pheromones. Androstadienone and 16-Androstene are androstanes and neurosteroids.

3-Ketosteroid reductase

In enzymology, a 3-keto-steroid reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 4alpha-methyl-5alpha-cholest-7-en-3beta-ol and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are 4alpha-methyl-5alpha-cholest-7-en-3-one, NADPH, and H+.

3β-Androstenol

3β-Androstenol, also known as 5α-androst-16-en-3β-ol, is a naturally occurring mammalian pheromone known to be present in humans and pigs. Androstadienone and 3β-Androstenol are androstanes, human pheromones, mammalian pheromones and neurosteroids.

See Androstadienone and 3β-Androstenol

3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Δ5-4 isomerase (3β-HSD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the biosynthesis of the steroid progesterone from pregnenolone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone from 17α-hydroxypregnenolone, and androstenedione from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in the adrenal gland.

See Androstadienone and 3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

5α-Reductase

5α-Reductases, also known as 3-oxo-5α-steroid 4-dehydrogenases, are enzymes involved in steroid metabolism.
