Product Information

• Name: 5a-Androst-16-en-3-one
• Synonyms: Androstenone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5a-Androsten-3,16-dione is a steroid hormone that binds to the androgen receptor. It is present in sweat and urine and may be used as a marker for the detection of testosterone doping. Studies have shown that 5a-androsten-3,16-dione interacts with other hormones such as estradiol benzoate and skatole. The transfection experiments showed significant interactions between 5a-androsten-3,16-dione and pueraia lobata extract. The sample preparation methods should include extraction with organic solvents such as ethyl acetate or chloroform/methanol followed by liquid–liquid partitioning with water or ethyl acetate to remove any lipids. The analytical method used in this study was gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). GC/MS analysis demonstrated that 5a-androsten-3,16-dione can be detected in
