what is Epiandrosterone, or isoandrosterone, also known as 3β-androsterone, 3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one, or 5α-androstan-3β-ol-17-one, is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic activity. It is a metabolite of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It was first isolated in 1931, by Adolf Friedrich Johann Butenandt and Kurt Tscherning. They distilled over 17,000 litres of male urine, from which they got 50 milligrams of crystalline androsterone (most likely mixed isomers), which was sufficient to find that the chemical formula was very similar to estrone.
Epiandrosterone has been shown to naturally occur in most mammals including pigs.
Epiandrosterone is naturally produced by the enzyme 5α-reductase from the adrenal hormone DHEA.[verification needed] Epiandrosterone can also be produced from the natural steroids androstanediol via 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase or from androstanedione via 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Description
Buy Epiandrosterone is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic activity, derived from 5 α-androstane. It is a dehydroepiandrosterone metabolite and an androgen. It is a precursor of testosterone and estradiol with hypolipidemic and anabolic activities.
Chemical Properties white to off-white crystalline powder. Musky odor when heated.epiandrosterone dosage
Uses Epiandrosterone is used for weight loss, to improve athletic performance, to reduce sexual problems, and for many other uses, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use. Epiandrosterone might also be unsafe.
It is a steroid hormone that is present in normal human urine as a minor constituent , it is a less active 3β-isomer of the androgen Androsterone (A635535). Controlled Substance.
Definition ChEBI: Epiandrosterone is a 3beta-hydroxy steroid that is (5alpha)-androstane substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3 and an oxo group at position 17. It has a role as an androgen and a human metabolite. and a 17-oxo steroid, a 3beta-hydroxy steroid and an androstanoid. It derives from a 5alpha-androstane.
Preparation
Epiandrosterone is naturally produced by the enzyme 5α-reductase from the adrenal hormone DHEA. It can also be produced from the natural steroids androstanediol via 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase or from androstanedione via 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Application Epiandrosterone presents some neurological activity since it can bind to the ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA)/benzodiazepine-receptor complex (GABA-RC), acting as a negative non-competitive modulator of GABA-RC, and signaling through the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor.
It can also inhibit the pentose phosphate pathway, dilating blood vessels pre-contracted by partial depolarization.epiandrosterone benefits
Epiandrosterone can inhibit the thromboxane A2 synthesis in activated platelets, decrease plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1, reduce tissue plasminogen activator antigen, improve insulin-like growth factor 1 serum levels, and increase the synthesis of cyclic guanosine monophosphate and nitric oxide.
In vitro assays demonstrate that this compound inhibits Junin virus replication vitro anti-adenovirus (AdV) activity.
Epiandrosterone affects glucose oxidation and interleukin-1 beta in in vitro pancreatic islets.
Epiandrosterone Side effects When taken by mouth: It is POSSIBLY UNSAFE for most people when taken by mouth. Side effects include infertility, behavioral changes, hair loss, and breast development (in men). It can also lead to liver damage and heart disease.epiandrosterone bodybuilding
Mode of action
It is a dehydroepiandrosterone metabolite and a precursor of testosterone and estradiol with hypolipidemic and anabolic property. Epiandrosterone, a potential neurosteroid, appears to bind to the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)/benzodiazepine-receptor complex (GABA-RC), acting as a negative non-competitive modulator of GABA-RC as well as signal through the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor. In addition this agent inhibits the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) thereby dilating blood vessels pre-contracted by partial depolarization. Also, epiandrosterone inhibits the synthesis of thromboxane A2 in activated platelets, reduces plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 and tissue plasminogen activator antigen, increases serum levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 and increases cyclic guanosine monophosphate and nitric oxide synthesis. These effects may improve circulation in the microvasculature.
