Product Information

• Name: Allotetrahydrocorticosterone
• Synonyms: Allotetrahydro Kendall B
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Allotetrahydrocorticosterone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that is used in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency. It has an inhibitory effect on the 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and inhibits the production of cortisol, aldosterone, and testosterone. Allotetrahydrocorticosterone has been shown to have a blood pressure lowering effect in women with primary hypertension. It also affects glucose metabolism by inhibiting aerobic glycolysis, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cyclase activity. Allotetrahydrocorticosterone also influences GABAergic neurotransmission as it can act as an inhibitor of the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in response to stress signals.
