Product Description
Mechanism of action
Androsterone is an endogenous androgen derived from testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism. It acts as a weak agonist at androgen receptors and functions as a neurosteroid modulating GABAA activity. It participates in steroidogenesis, hepatic metabolism, and peripheral androgen signaling.
Benefits and advantages
Used in endocrinology research involving androgen pathways, steroid metabolism mapping, and neurosteroid modulation. Also relevant in doping control analytical studies.
Side effects and risks
High doses may alter hormone balance, liver enzyme expression, and CNS activity. Protective handling measures are mandatory due to hormonal effects.
