4-Androstenediol Usage And Synthesis

Description

4-Androstenedione (4AD) is a hormone with androgenic effects, commonly derived from testicular urine. It appears as a white crystalline powder and serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of norethindrone, testosterone propionate, and nandrolone phenylpropionate.

Uses

Androstenediol is a metabolite of testosterone (T155000). It is used for weight training and recovery, and to increase testosteroneproduction and stamina.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Androstenediol is a 3-hydroxy steroid. It has a role as an androgen.

Mode of action

Androstenediol is a prohormone and a precursor of testosterone. It can be converted to the hormones estradiol,DHEA, and estrone.Androstenediol is able to decrease HDL and increase L.DI (Broeder et al, 2000). There is improvement in cardiovascular function following trauma hemorrhage that may be mediated by gamma activity(Shimizu et al,2006).
