androstenedione

As nouns the difference between testosterone and androstenedione

is that testosterone is steroid hormone produced primarily in the testes of the male; it is responsible for the development of secondary sex characteristics in the male while androstenedione is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the gonads, chemical formula C₁₉H₂₆O₂; the common precursor to both male and female sex hormones.

As nouns the difference between androstenedione and androstanedione

is that androstenedione is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the gonads, chemical formula C₁₉H₂₆O₂; the common precursor to both male and female sex hormones while androstanedione is either of two isomeric steroids: 5α-androstanedione and 5β-androstanedione. In humans, 5α-androstanedione is a metabolic precursor of testosterone and estrone.

As nouns the difference between androstenedione and andro

is that androstenedione is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the gonads, chemical formula c₁₉h₂₆o₂; the common precursor to both male and female sex hormones while andro is (informal) androstenedione.

As nouns the difference between precursor and androstenedione

is that precursor is that which precurses, a forerunner, a predecessor, an indicator of approaching events while androstenedione is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the gonads, chemical formula c₁₉h₂₆o₂; the common precursor to both male and female sex hormones.

As nouns the difference between gonad and androstenedione

is that gonad is (anatomy) a sex organ that produces gametes; specifically, a testicle or ovary while androstenedione is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the gonads, chemical formula c₁₉h₂₆o₂; the common precursor to both male and female sex hormones.

As nouns the difference between hormone and androstenedione

is that hormone is while androstenedione is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the gonads, chemical formula c₁₉h₂₆o₂; the common precursor to both male and female sex hormones.

As nouns the difference between steroid and androstenedione

is that steroid is a class of organic compounds having a structure of 17 carbon atoms arranged in four rings; they are lipids, and occur naturally as sterols, bile acids, adrenal and sex hormones, and some vitamins; many drugs are synthetic steroids while androstenedione is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the gonads, chemical formula C₁₉H₂₆O₂; the common precursor to both male and female sex hormones.
