Androstenedione
Explanation: Androstenedione is a steroid hormone made by adrenal glands (small organs above the kidneys), and by the reproductive gland. It acts as a precursor, which means it's a starting material for making other important hormones like testosterone (a male hormone) and estrogen (a female hormone). Both men and women have androstenedione, but the levels vary depending on age, sex, and overall health.
Test purpose:
- Evaluate hormone imbalances: It helps determine the cause of symptoms like irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, or reproductive issues.
- Check the health of the adrenal glands. Abnormal values might mean an increase in size or malfunction of adrenal glands.
