The androgen backdoor pathways occur without the involvement of testosterone (T) and/or androstenedione (A4), which are part of the conventional, canonical (classic) [30] [31] [11] androgenic pathway. [15] In the canonical pathways of androgen biosynthesis, DHT is synthesized from T via 5α-reduction, so that 5α-reduction of T, a C
The androgen backdoor pathway (red arrows) roundabout testosterone embedded in within conventional androgen synthesis that lead to 5α-dihydrotestosterone through testosterone. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] 5α-Pregnan-17α-ol-3,20-dione (17-OH-DHP) is a progestogen , i.e., it binds to the progesterone receptors .

The androgen backdoor pathway (red arrows) roundabout testosterone embedded in within conventional androgen synthesis that lead to 5α-dihydrotestosterone through testosterone [27] [28] [29] CAH is a genetic disorder characterized by impaired production of cortisol in the adrenal glands. [1] [4] Production of cortisol begins at week 8 of fetal ...
removed 11KT since it is not a significant product of the 11-oxy backdoor pathway: 17:21, 18 February 2024: 1,200 × 675 (365 KB) Boghog: Reverted to version as of 11:25, 17 February 2024 (UTC) 14:08, 18 February 2024: 1,200 × 675 (371 KB) Boghog: Added the 11-oxy backdoor pathway is also important in healthy females: 11:25, 17 February 2024: ...
5α-Reductase (1, 2, 3) – androgen and neurosteroid synthesis, progestogen metabolism; 5β-Reductase – androgen and progestogen metabolism, neurosteroid synthesis; Conjugation (and deconjugation) Glucuronosyltransferase – steroid metabolism [6] Glucuronidase (β-glucuronidase) – steroid synthesis [7]
These findings indicate that CYP17A1 plays a role in the metabolism of this steroid through both hydroxylation and lyase reactions in the 11-oxygenated steroid backdoor pathway to androgens. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] This pathway is important for regulating adrenal and gonadal steroid hormone biosynthesis and can contribute to elevated levels of androgens in ...
Adrenal steroid pathways. The precursor of steroids synthesized in the adrenal cortex is cholesterol that is stored in vesicles. Cholesterol can be synthesized de novo in the adrenal cortex. Yet, the major source of cholesterol appears to be cholesterol that is taken up with circulating lipoproteins. [15]
