Beschreibung

4-Pregnen-17a,20b-diol-3-one is a synthetic androgen with anabolic and androgenic activity. It has been shown in animal studies to increase maximal responses of the reproductive tract to gonadotropin stimulation. 4-Pregnen-17a,20b-diol-3-one binds to the activin receptor on the cell membrane, which leads to increased expression of a gene encoding for 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD), an enzyme involved in testosterone synthesis. This drug also increases the sensitivity of ovarian follicles to gonadotropins and decreases basal plasma levels of LH and FSH. 4-Pregnen-17a,20b-diol-3-one has not been found to be toxicologically significant at doses up to 10 mg/kg body weight per day.
