WHAT DOES ANDROSTERONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Androsterone

Androsterone, or 3α-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one, is an endogenous steroid hormone and weak androgen with a potency that is approximately 1/7 that of testosterone. In addition, it can be converted to dihydrotestosterone from 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, bypassing conventional intermediates such as androstenedione and testosterone, and as such, can be considered to be a metabolic intermediate in its own right. Androsterone is also known to be an inhibitory androstane neurosteroid, acting as a positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptor, and possesses anticonvulsant effects. Androsterone's 3β-isomer is epiandrosterone, and its 5β-epimer is etiocholanolone.

Definition of androsterone in the English dictionary

The definition of androsterone in the dictionary is an androgenic steroid hormone produced in the testes. Formula: C19H30O2.
