Androstanediol glucuronide

3α-Androstanediol glucuronide (3α-ADG) is a metabolite formed from human androgens; compounds involved in the development and maintenance of sexual characteristics. ^[1]

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.

Androstenedione

Androstenedione, or 4-androstenedione (abbreviated as A4 or Δ4-dione), also known as androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, is an endogenous weak androgen steroid hormone and intermediate in the biosynthesis of estrone and of testosterone from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Androstanediol glucuronide and Androstenedione are androstanes.

Androsterone glucuronide

Androsterone glucuronide (ADT-G) is a major circulating and urinary metabolite of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Androstanediol glucuronide and Androsterone glucuronide are 5α-Reduced steroid metabolites, androstanes, glucuronide esters and Human metabolites.

Dehydroepiandrosterone

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as androstenolone, is an endogenous steroid hormone precursor. Androstanediol glucuronide and Dehydroepiandrosterone are androstanes.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, abbreviated as DHEA sulfate or DHEA-S, also known as androstenolone sulfate, is an endogenous androstane steroid that is produced by the adrenal cortex. Androstanediol glucuronide and Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate are androstanes and Human metabolites.

Dihydrotestosterone

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, 5α-DHT, androstanolone or stanolone) is an endogenous androgen sex steroid and hormone primarily involved in the growth and repair of the prostate and the penis, as well as the production of sebum and body hair composition. Androstanediol glucuronide and Dihydrotestosterone are 5α-Reduced steroid metabolites and androstanes.

Etiocholanolone glucuronide

Etiocholanolone glucuronide (ETIO-G) is an endogenous, naturally occurring metabolite of testosterone. Androstanediol glucuronide and Etiocholanolone glucuronide are glucuronide esters and Human metabolites.

Glucuronidation

Glucuronidation is often involved in drug metabolism of substances such as drugs, pollutants, bilirubin, androgens, estrogens, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, fatty acid derivatives, retinoids, and bile acids.

Metabolite

In biochemistry, a metabolite is an intermediate or end product of metabolism.

3α-Androstanediol

3α-Androstanediol also known as 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol and sometimes shortened in the literature to 3α-diol, is an endogenous steroid hormone and neurosteroid and a metabolite of androgens like dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Androstanediol glucuronide and 3α-Androstanediol are 5α-Reduced steroid metabolites, androstanes and Human metabolites.

3β-Androstanediol

3β-Androstanediol, also known as 5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol, and sometimes shortened in the literature to 3β-diol, is an endogenous steroid hormone and a metabolite of androgens like dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Androstanediol glucuronide and 3β-Androstanediol are 5α-Reduced steroid metabolites, androstanes and Human metabolites.

5α-Reductase

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