Biochem/physiol Actions

11β-Hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione is a naturally occurring steroid that is primarily, if not strictly, produced in adrenal tissue. In diseases such as Cushing′s syndrome, adrenal-originated hyperandrogenism, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, plasma 11β levels are very high. Plasma 11β concentration is very low in congenital 11-hydroxylase deficiency and adrenal insufficiency.

A simple and novel HPLC-MS method for the simultaneous quantification of testosterone, 11-ketotestosterone, and 11beta-hydroxyandrostenedione in fish serum was developed and validated. Separation was achieved on a C-18 column using a water-acetonitrile mobile-phase with a cycle time of 12 min.

In this study, we investigated guinea pig adrenal steroidogenesis, specially, C19 steroid production. Analysis of adrenal steroids by high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography indicated the presence of androstenedione and 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione. Adrenal androstenedione and 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione levels were stimulated by

In order to gain a better understanding of adrenal steroid production in guinea pigs, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) was administered to castrated adult guinea pigs and a series of C-21 and C-19 steroid levels were determined in both adrenals and plasma over

The effects of sex steroids on spermatogenesis and testicular androgen secretion were studied in juvenile (spermatogonia present in testes) African catfish. Fish were implanted with Silastic pellets containing 11-ketotestosterone (KT), 11beta-hydroxyandrostenedione (OHA), androstenetrione (OA), androstenedione (A), testosterone (T), 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

Postmenopausal women with elevated serum androgens are at an increased risk of breast cancer. High dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate concentrations in these women suggest increased adrenal secretion. Both the adrenals and ovaries could contribute to elevated concentrations of androstenedione (Delta4A). 11beta-Hydroxyandrostenedione (11betaOHA)
