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

Serum testosterone levels are elevated prior to the lutropin surge, and decline abruptly following the release of endogenous lutropin. To investigate this phenomenon, the activity of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the enzyme directly related to testosterone production from androstenedione, was measured.
