English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Androgen-binding protein(ABP) is synthesized by the Sertoli cell in the testis, where ~80% is secreted into the luminal fluid and the other ~20% is secreted into the interstitial compartment and taken up into the systemic circulation. ABP binds testosterone and transports it in the seminiferous tubule fluid to the epididymis, where it is taken up by a receptor-mediated process into the principal cells of the initial segment and caput epididymis. Once released from ABP, the testosterone is converted to [dihydrotestosterone](DHT) by the epithelial 5α-reductase. ABP is very similar in structure to sex hormone binding globulin(SHBG), which is synthesized in the liver and binds testosterone in the peripheral blood. ABP has been identified in rat, dog, monkey, and human.

[...] l'ABP [androgen binding protein, protéine de liaison aux androgènes] se lie à la testostérone dans la lumière du tube séminifère et transporte cette dernière en concentration très élevée vers les sites de la spermatogenèse.

DEF

A powerful androgenic hormone formed in peripheral tissue by the action of the enzyme 5a-reductase on testosterone.

OBS

It is thought to be the essential androgen responsible for [the] formation of primary sex characters in males during embryogenesis, for [the] development of most male secondary sex characters at puberty, and for [the] adult male sexual function. A semisynthetic analog is called stanolone.

17ß-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-3-one: The word "alpha" must be replaced by the corresponding Greek letter or italicized.

OBS

androstanolone: International nonproprietary name (INN) of the World Health Organization (WHO).

DHT : This might be an in-house or a non-recognized abbreviation; not to be used alone, to avoid any risk of confusion.

CONT

La testostérone, androgène d'origine testiculaire, est réduite (réductase) à la périphérie notamment au niveau du tissu graisseux, en dihydrotestostérone (DHT), androgène nettement plus puissant que la testostérone et que l'androstènédione, ce dernier essentiellement d'origine surrénalienne.
