Metabolite Identification
Common NameAndrosterone
DescriptionAndrosterone is a C19-steroid and a metabolite derived from the metabolism of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Its chemical structure features a steroid backbone with a hydroxyl group at the 17β position, which classifies it as an androgen. Androsterone is involved in various biochemical pathways, including the conversion to more active androgens and estrogens through enzymatic reactions mediated by hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases. It is also a precursor for the synthesis of androsterone sulfate, which is an important form of steroid hormone excretion. Studies have shown that levels of androsterone can be influenced by various factors, such as hormonal treatments and environmental exposures, with alterations in its levels linked to conditions like normal pressure hydrocephalus (PMID:41138917 ) and changes in gut microbiota (PMID:41106786 ). Furthermore, the quantification of androsterone, along with other metabolites, has been achieved using advanced methodologies such as gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (PMID:40998686 ). Overall, androsterone serves as a significant marker in steroid metabolism and hormonal regulation.
