Recent studies have shown that an adrenal steroid 11β-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione serves as the precursor to androgens, 11-ketotestosterone and 11-ketodihydrotestosterone (11KDHT). The biosynthetic pathways include the reduction of 3- and 17-keto groups of the androgen precursors 11-keto-C Show less
