Description: 4-Androstenediol is an androstenediol that is converted to testosterone.Use of 4-androstenediol to increase testosterone levels in humans
4-Androstenediol is an androstenediol that is converted to testosterone. The conversion rate is about 15.76%, almost triple that of androstenedione, due to utilization of a different enzymatic pathway. There is no direct conversion to estrogen, though some secondary aromatization does occur through metabolism. 4-Androstenediol is less androgenic, since it does not metabolize into the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT).4-Androstenediol is closer to testosterone structurally than 5-androstenediol, and has androgenic effects, acting as a weak partial agonist of the androgen receptor.However, due to its lower intrinsic activity in comparison, in the presence of full agonists like testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) 4-androstenediol has antagonistic actions, behaving more like an antiandrogen like cyproterone acetate.
