|---|---|
| androstatrienes | Derivatives of the steroid androstane having three double bonds at any site in any of the rings. (12 Dec 1998) |
| androstene | Androstane with an unsaturated (i.e., -CH==CH-) bond in the molecule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| androstenediol | 5-Androsten-3b,17b-diol;a steroid metabolite differing from androstanediol by possessing a double bond between C-5 and C-6. (05 Mar 2000) |
| androstenediols | Unsaturated androstane derivatives which are substituted with two hydroxy groups in any position in the ring system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| androstenedione | <chemical> An androgenic steroid produced by the testis, adrenal cortex, and ovary. It occurs in nature as 4-delta-androstenedione and 5-delta-androstenedione. Androstenediones can be converted metabolically to testosterone and other androgens. Chemical name: Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (12 Dec 1998) |
| androstenedione 17-alpha-oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Forms epitestosterone; was mapped to testosterone dehydrogenases (85-93); index medicus see under 17-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (85-90) Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: steroid 17alpha oxidoreductase, androstenedione 17-oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| androstenes | Unsaturated derivatives of the steroid androstane containing at least one double bond at any site in any of the rings. (12 Dec 1998) |
| androstenolone | 3b-hydroxyandrost-5-ene-17-one;a weakly androgenic steroid secreted largely by the adrenal cortex, but also by the testes; one of the principal components of urinary 17-ketosteroids; a precursor of testosterone. Synonym: androstenolone, dehydroisoandrosterone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| androstenols | Unsaturated androstanes which are substituted with one or more hydroxyl groups in any position in the ring system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| androsterone | <endocrinology> A male sex hormone, derived from progesterone, which is seven times weaker than testosterone. It is found in the plasma and urine of both men and women. Formula: C19H30O2. (09 Oct 1997) |
| androsterone sulfotransferase | <enzyme> May be an isoenzyme of EC 2.8.2.2 (hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase) Registry number: EC 2.8.2.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| androtomous | <botany> Having the filaments of the stamens divided into two parts. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| androtomy | Dissection of the human body, as distinguished from zootomy; anthropotomy. Origin: Gr, man + a cutting. Cf. Anatomy. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| androus | <botany> A terminal combining form: Having a stamen or stamens; staminate; as, monandrous, with one stamen; polyandrous, with many stamens. Origin: Gr, a man. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
