Descriptions

An intermediate in testosterone biosynthesis, found in the testis or the adrenal glands. Androstenediol, derived from DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE by the reduction of the 17-keto group (17-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES), is converted to TESTOSTERONE by the oxidation of the 3-beta hydroxyl group to a 3-keto group (3-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES).

Androstenediol (5-androstene-3β,17β-diol, AED) and androstenetriol (5-androstene-3β,7β,17β-triol, AET) are downstream metabolites of dehydroepiandrostrone (5-androstene-3β-ol-17-one, DHEA). As steroid hormones, they upregulate immune response and prevent morbidity and mortality from various infections from bacterial and viral agents. AED and AET are also thought to counteract stress-mediated immune suppression. PMID: 11268417 Androstenetriol is found in urine in healthy subjects during growth and is one of the markers that reflects the changes of the adrenarche process in boys and girls (Adrenarche is the adrenal glands maturaty).[HMDB ID: HMDB00550] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
