Epiandrosterone

Index Epiandrosterone

Epiandrosterone, or isoandrosterone, also known as 3β-androsterone, 3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one, or 5α-androstan-3β-ol-17-one, is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic activity. [1]

Adolf Butenandt

Adolf Friedrich Johann Butenandt (24 March 1903 – 18 January 1995) was a German biochemist.

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. Epiandrosterone and androgen are Anabolic–androgenic steroids.

See Epiandrosterone and Androgen

Androstanediol

Androstanediol may refer to. Epiandrosterone and Androstanediol are androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and Androstanediol

Androstanedione

Androstanedione, also known as 5α-androstanedione or as 5α-androstane-3,17-dione, is a naturally occurring androstane (5α-androstane) steroid and an endogenous metabolite of androgens like testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and androstenedione. Epiandrosterone and Androstanedione are 5α-Reduced steroid metabolites, Anabolic–androgenic steroids and androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and Androstanedione

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. Epiandrosterone and Androstenol are androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and Androstenol

Androstenone

Androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) is a 16-androstene class steroidal pheromone. Epiandrosterone and Androstenone are androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and Androstenone

Androsterone

Androsterone, or 3α-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one, is an endogenous steroid hormone, neurosteroid, and putative pheromone. Epiandrosterone and Androsterone are 5α-Reduced steroid metabolites, Anabolic–androgenic steroids and androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and Androsterone

Dehydroepiandrosterone

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as androstenolone, is an endogenous steroid hormone precursor. Epiandrosterone and Dehydroepiandrosterone are Anabolic–androgenic steroids and androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and Dehydroepiandrosterone

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. Epiandrosterone and Dihydrotestosterone are 5α-Reduced steroid metabolites, Anabolic–androgenic steroids and androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and Dihydrotestosterone

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.

See Epiandrosterone and Estratetraenol

Estrone

Estrone (E1), also spelled oestrone, is a steroid, a weak estrogen, and a minor female sex hormone.

See Epiandrosterone and Estrone

Metabolite

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

See Epiandrosterone and Metabolite

Steroid hormone

A steroid hormone is a steroid that acts as a hormone.

See Epiandrosterone and Steroid hormone

Testosterone

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and androgen in males. Epiandrosterone and Testosterone are Anabolic–androgenic steroids and androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and Testosterone

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSD, HSD17B), also 17-ketosteroid reductases (17-KSR), are a group of alcohol oxidoreductases which catalyze the reduction of 17-ketosteroids and the dehydrogenation of 17β-hydroxysteroids in steroidogenesis and steroid metabolism.

See Epiandrosterone and 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

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). Epiandrosterone and 3β-Androstanediol are 5α-Reduced steroid metabolites and androstanes.

See Epiandrosterone and 3β-Androstanediol

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.
