Metabolite Identification
Common NameDihydroandrosterone
DescriptionDihydroandrosterone, also known as hombreol or adiol, 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, dihydroandrosterone is considered to be a steroid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Dihydroandrosterone.
