Androsterone
Explanation: Androsterone is a hormone made in the body as part of the process of breaking down testosterone and other male sex hormones (androgens). While it is considered a weak androgen, it still plays a role in the development of male traits like body hair and muscle mass. Androsterone is also found in small amounts in women, where it contributes to overall hormone balance.
Test purpose:
- Evaluate hormone balance: Abnormal androsterone levels can help identify issues with testosterone or other androgen production.
- Detect adrenal or gonadal conditions: Since androsterone is produced in the adrenal glands and testes (or ovaries in women), abnormal levels may indicate adrenal or gonadal dysfunction.
- Investigate symptoms of hormone imbalance: Such as excessive hair growth (hirsutism) in women or low sex drive in men.
