Androsterone, or 3α-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one, is an endogenous steroid hormone, neurosteroid, and putative pheromone. [1] It is a weak androgen with a potency that is approximately 1/7 that of testosterone. [2] Androsterone is a metabolite of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Allopregnanolone, a major endogenous inhibitory neurosteroid. Steroid ring system.. This is a list of neurosteroids, or natural and synthetic steroids that are active on the mammalian nervous system through receptors other than steroid hormone receptors.
The neurosteroid ganaxolone, an analog of the progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone, has been extensively investigated in animal models and is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of epilepsy. Neurosteroids, including ganaxolone have a broad spectrum of activity in animal models. [46]
If you have low testosterone, it can lead to problems with drive, muscle mass levels, fat distribution, bone density, and even red blood cell production. These signs and symptoms may vary in ...
Dehydroepiandrosterone (δ 5-androsten-3β-ol-17-one) – an endogenous androgen, neurosteroid, agonist of PPARα, PXR, and CAR, and testosterone intermediate Androstadienes [ edit ]
Androsterone is a chemical byproduct created during the breakdown of androgens, or derived from progesterone, that also exerts minor masculinising effects, but with one-seventh the intensity of testosterone.
This is a list of androgens/anabolic steroids (AAS) or testosterone derivatives. Androgen esters are mostly not included in this list. The major classes of testosterone derivatives include the following (as well as combinations thereof):
Depiction of smooth muscle contraction. Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle cells. [1] [2] In physiology, muscle contraction does not necessarily mean muscle shortening because muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position.
