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.
Biochimica et biophysica acta, 627(2), 165-171 (1980-01-17)
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.

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
