LP15815-1 Pregnanediol
Allo-pregnanediol (5α-pregnane-3α,20α-diol), pregnanolone (5β-pregnane-3α-ol-20-one), epipregnanolone (3β-hydoxy-5β-pregnan-20-one) and pregnanediol (5ß-pregnane-3α,20α-diol) are metabolites of progesterone. During pregnancy and in certain phases of the menstruation cycle, these metabolites are excreted at higher levels. They are also important markers in steroid profile analysis in urine for the evaluation of an adrenal 21-hydroxylase-deficiency.
