Metabolite Identification
Common NameDehydroepiandrosterone
DescriptionDehydroepiandrosterone, also known as 5-androsten-3b-ol-17-one or diandron, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as androgens and derivatives. These are 3-hydroxylated C19 steroid hormones. They are known to favor the development of masculine characteristics. They also show profound effects on scalp and body hair in humans. Thus, dehydroepiandrosterone is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. Dehydroepiandrosterone exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Dehydroepiandrosterone participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Dehydroepiandrosterone can be biosynthesized from 17a-hydroxypregnenolone through its interaction with the enzyme steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase. In addition, Dehydroepiandrosterone can be converted into androstenedione through the action of the enzyme 3-beta-HSD 1. In cattle, dehydroepiandrosterone is involved in the metabolic pathway called the androgen and estrogen metabolism pathway. Dehydroepiandrosterone is a potentially toxic compound. Dehydroepiandrosterone has been found to be associated with several diseases known as rheumatoid arthritis, antley-bixler syndrome with genital anomalies and disordered steroidogenesis, adrenal hyperplasia, congenital, due to 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 deficiency, and adrenal insufficiency, congenital, with 46,xy sex reversal, partial or complete; also dehydroepiandrosterone has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
