LP14493-8   Androstenedione
Androstenedione (also known as 4-androstenedione) is a 19-carbon steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the gonads as an intermediate step in the biochemical pathway that produces the androgen testosterone and the estrogens estrone and estradiol. It is the common precursor of male and female sex hormones. Some androstenedione is also secreted into the plasma, and may be converted in peripheral tissues to testosterone and estrogens. Androstenedione originates either from the conversion of dehydroepiandrosterone or from 17-hydroxyprogesterone. It is further converted to either testosterone or estrone. The production of adrenal androstenedione is governed by ACTH, while production of gonadal androstenedione is controled by gonadotropins. In premenopausal women the adrenal glands and ovaries each produce about half of the total androstendione (about 3 mgday).

LP14493-8   Androstenedione
Testing for androstenedione is used to diagnose viralizing syndromes including congenital adrenal hyperplasia, female virilization, hirsutism, polycystic ovarian disease, Stein-Levethal syndrome. and to detect abuse of anabolic steroids. It is also a drug- an anabolic steroid- used to enhance atheletic performance, but banned as an OTC drug by the FDA in 2004. Source: Regenstrief Institute
