Androsterone is a major metabolite of testosterone and androstenedione along with the enantiomer etiocholanolone. Androsterone is also part of the "backdoor pathway" from allopregnanolone to dihydrotestosterone, which has importance in certain disease states. Androsterone is one of a few steroids with neutral activity that interact with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors.

    what is Androsterone and why is it important?

    Androsterone is a major metabolite of testosterone and androstenedione along with the enantiomer etiocholanolone.

Androsterone is one of a few steroids with neutral activity that interact with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors.
    • When a healthcare provider recommends this test as part of a specialized workup for specific, complex endocrine disorders.
    • If standard hormone tests have not provided a complete picture, and your doctor needs to explore less common steroid metabolic pathways or their influence on neurosteroid activity.
    • Individuals whose healthcare providers are investigating complex hormonal imbalances, particularly those involving androgen metabolism or the less common 'backdoor pathway' for hormone synthesis.
    • Patients undergoing specialized evaluations for conditions related to steroid production, where a detailed understanding of hormone metabolites is required.

    As a key metabolite of testosterone and androstenedione, and a participant in the "backdoor pathway" to dihydrotestosterone, this test is commonly used in the investigation of:

    • Adrenal gland disorders affecting androgen production, such as adrenal hyperplasia.
    • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and other conditions causing hyperandrogenism in women.
    • Disorders of sexual differentiation, where alternative steroid synthesis pathways may play a role.
    • Specific cases of unexplained androgen imbalance where standard tests are insufficient.

    Caution

    It is important to note that the results of this test are for investigational purposes only. They should not be used as a standalone diagnostic procedure and require confirmation with other medically established diagnostic products or procedures by your healthcare provider. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional to interpret your results and for any health concerns.
