• Description: Epiandrosterone b-D-glucuronide is a glucuronidated metabolite of epiandrosterone (E1). It is a metabolite that has been found in human urine samples. The use of this metabolite as an antigen for the diagnosis of prostate cancer has been investigated by using spectrometric analysis of urine samples. Epiandrosterone b-D-glucuronide is a conjugate that can be used for the measurement of 17β-estradiol levels in biological fluids. Oral supplementation with E1 and E2 results in a change in the ratio of these two metabolites, which varies depending on the sex and age of the individual.
