Description | Testerone is a predominantly male hormone, though females do produce certain amounts of it. The primary female hormone is estrogen and males also produce certain amounts of this hormone. testosterone causes the appearance of male traits (i.e deepening voice, pubic and facial hairs, muscular build, etc.)
The keto group on C-17 is reduced to an alcohol to yield testosterone.
testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females although small amounts are secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In both males and females, it plays key roles in health and well-being. On average, the adult male body produces about twenty times the amount of testosterone that an adult female's body does.
Free testosterone (T) is transported into the cytoplasm of target tissue cells, where it can bind to the androgen receptor, or can be reduced to 5-alpha -dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the cytoplasmic enzyme 5-alpha-reductase(5-alpha-reduktas). DHT binds to the same androgen receptor even more strongly than T, so that its androgenic potency is about 2.5 times that of T. The T-receptor or DHT-receptor complex undergoes a structural change that allows it to move into the cell nucleus and bind directly to specific nucleotide sequences of the chromosomal DNA. The areas of binding are called hormone response elements (HREs), and influence transcriptional activity of certain genes, producing the androgen effects. It is important to note that if there is a too low amount of 5-alpha-reductase(5-alfa-reduktas), the body (of a human) will -continue- growing into a female with testicles. |
