Quantitation by standard addition method (
androstenedione, androsterone, corticosterone, cortisone, estradiol, estrone, progesterone, OH - progesterone,
testosterone).
In addition, chronically elevated levels of insulin lead to a hyper - production of
androstenedione, a hormone that's five times weaker than
testosterone but competes with it in the body.
In cases of
androstenedione over-production,
testosterone gets blocked by its weaker cousin and the end result are low T levels.

In the Male Hormone Panel (MHP) samples of saliva are taken and six hormone levels are measured: DHEA,
Androstenedione,
Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Estrone and Progesterone.
After conversion into
androstenedione, DHEA may be used to produce
testosterone and its metabolites (for which reason DHEA replacement may boost libido in women) or estrone, and thus other estrogens.75
These include the likes of
androstenedione,
testosterone, estrogens, cortisol, and aldosterone, to name the more commonly spoken of ones.
It is promoted in bodybuilding to be an effective inhibitor of an enzyme known as aromatase which causes the conversion of
testosterone into estradiol and
androstenedione into estrone.
Both interventions were found to offer significant improvements in hirsutism, and improved levels of follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, sex hormone - binding globulin (SHBG), total
testosterone,
androstenedione, and free androgen index (FAI)-- a useful measure of the
testosterone / SHBG ratio.
Some of the tests worth considering include those relating to insulin sensitivity such as the oral glucose tolerance test, and a hormone panel that includes some or all of the following: luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, estradiol, progesterone,
androstenedione, 17 - hydroxy - progesterone, insulin and
testosterone.
EstroQuench ™ is used by healthcare professionals to reduce estrogens levels by inhibiting aromatase activity, which will decrease the conversion of androgens (
testosterone and
androstenedione) to estrogens (estradiol and estrone).
Chapter 14 HOW AND WHEN TO USE OTHER HORMONES Estrogen, DHEA, Pregnenolone, the Corticosteroids,
Testosterone and
Androstenedione
This allows for increased LH and decreased FSH, which in turn leads to excessive production of the androgens
androstenedione and
testosterone.
Hyperandrogenism encompasses many of the physical symptoms we discussed above, as well as elevated
testosterone (free
testosterone is the best measure of this), DHEAS, and
androstenedione.
Therefore, taking
Androstenedione will help you increase your levels of
testosterone, and gain muscle and strength.
Hypothyroidism can increase
testosterone by decreasing the level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), increasing the conversion of
androstenedione to
testosterone and estradiol, and reducing the metabolic clearance of
androstenedione (1,5).
Stress causes the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, adrenaline and norepinephrine, along with 3 androgen hormones; DHEA,
testosterone and
androstenedione.
Chrysin - Chrysin (5,7 - Dihydroxyflavone) is promoted in bodybuilding to be an effective inhibitor of an enzyme known as aromatase which causes the conversion of
testosterone into estradiol and
androstenedione into estrone.
Suppressing ovulation deprives the body of natural hormones produced by the ovary that are needed for proper growth and development, including pregnenolone,
testosterone,
androstenedione, DHEA and the estrogens.
Not only do we have the issues above but we have exaggerated responses to
testosterone and other androgens like DHEA, DHT (a potent metabolite of
testosterone) and
androstenedione at the level of the pore.
Some progesterone, however, is also made in the adrenal glands, where it can be eventually turned into cortisol, aldosterone (a steroid hormone involved in salt - water balance in the body) and
androstenedione (a male sex hormone), eventually making
testosterone and estrogen.
Researchers measured blood levels of six markers, including estradiol,
testosterone and
androstenedione.
After 6 weeks, their average serum
testosterone, free

testosterone synthesis) all dropped significantly [6].
Progesterone is manufactured in the body from the steroid hormone pregnenolone, and is a precursor to most of the other steroid hormones, including cortisol,
androstenedione, the estrogens and
testosterone.
These enzymes are responsible for the rapid conversion of DHEA, DHEA - S,
androstenedione, and
testosterone into DHT.
Testosterone production takes place in the ovary, in the adrenal gland, and through peripheral conversion of
androstenedione.
