What does Androstenedione measure?
The Androstenedione test measures the level of androstenedione in the blood. Androstenedione, an androgenic hormone, is often called a "male" sex hormone'. Although it is found in both men and women. It is important for sexual development and helps the body produce other key hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
Androstenedione is made by the adrenal glands in both sexes, the ovaries in females, and the testicles in males. Its production is controlled by two hormones from the pituitary gland, luteinizing hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone. Firstly, luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the ovaries and testicles. Secondly, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal glands.
The amount of androstenedione in the blood can vary depending on the time of day and, in women, during the menstrual cycle. Due to this, doctors may use this test alongside others such as testosterone or 17-hydroxyprogesterone to get a clearer picture of hormonal health.
