testosterone

Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CHEBI_17347

A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL.

Unlike testosterone, which is a flat molecule, its 8-isomer has a folded conformation.

An androstanoid having 17beta-hydroxy and 3-oxo groups, together with unsaturation at C-4-C-5.

An androgen that has formula C19H28O2.
