5α-Androstane-3α,17β-diol (dihydroandrosterone) is a testosterone metabolite. Dihyroandrosterone inhibited the cell growth of seven cancer cell lines while showing weak toxicity on normal cell lines.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dihydroandrosterone is a testosterone metabolite; affects sperm maturation and survival.

Androstanediol glucuronide (Adiol G) has been reported to be a marker of peripheral androgen metabolism and action. It consists of two isomers, Adiol 3-G and Adiol 17-G. Adiol G is formed from unconjugated precursors by the enzyme glucuronyl transferase. To
Certain androstane steroids (AS) modulate ionotropic receptors, as do the pregnane steroids. Whereas women produce significant amounts of neuroactive progesterone metabolites, the steroid neuromodulators in men originate mainly from the 3-oxo-4-ene C(19)-steroids, which are converted to their 3alpha- and 3beta-hydroxy-5alpha/5beta-reduced
