Epiandrosterone
Active
Description
Epiandrosterone is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic activity. It is a natural metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone via the 5-alpha reductase enzyme.
Epiandrosterone has been shown to naturally occur in most mammals.
Epiandrosterone is naturally produced by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase from the adrenal hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Epiandrosterone can also be converted from the natural steroids androstanediol via 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase or from androstanedione via 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Synonyms for epiandrosterone are: 3-epiandrosterone; 3β-androsterone; 3β-hydroxyetioallocholan-17-one; 5α-androstan-17-one, 3β-hydroxy-; 5β-androstan-17-one; and 3-β-hydroxyetiollocholan-17-one
