Biochem/physiol Actions: |
4-Androstenedione, commonly known as Androstenedione, is an endogenous androgen steroid hormone. 4-Androstenedione functions as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of testosterone, estradiol and estrone. Recent studies indicate that 4-Androstenedione is involved in aromatase inhibitors induce painful musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS) by activation of TRPA1. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Testosterone precursor and metabolite with androgenic activity; may increase the risk of prostate or pancreatic cancer. |
