| Interpretation: |
The determination of more… The determination of androstanediol-glucuronide is an indirect method for the determination of 5-alpha-reductase activity. Androstanediol-glucuronide is a major metabolite of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Androstanediol-glucuronide is formed for the most part in peripheral target tissues such as the skin, especially around the hair follicles. Stimulation with larger amounts leads to excessive hair formation - this is particularly noticeable in those areas where hair is normally not present in women. Patients suffering from idiopathic hirsutism showed elevated values ¿¿and a decrease in treatment. This correlation was also found in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In addition, diabetics, both men and women, have an androstanediol-glucuronide level above the reference range under cyclosporin A therapy and produce hair as a secondary effect in previously hairless areas. |
