Androstenedione

D4-Androstenedione is an androgen produced in the adrenal cortex, the ovary and the testes. There is a circadian rhythm of secretion with highest concentrations in the morning. The amount of D4-androstenedione also varies during the menstrual cycle, with a maximum value in mid-cycle. The determination of D4-Androstenedione can be used for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hyperandrogenism and for diagnosis and monitoring of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
