androstenedione

As nouns the difference between terms and androstenedione

is that terms 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 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

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.
