5-β-Androstane-3-β,17-β Diol-3-Sulfate-[D4]

5-β-Androstane-3-β,17-β Diol-3-Sulfate-[D4] is a steroid compound that is used as a research tool in the field of endocrinology. It is a labeled compound, meaning that it has been tagged with a stable isotope of hydrogen, deuterium, in order to allow for easier detection and analysis in experiments. This steroid is a metabolite of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is produced by the adrenal glands and converted into various other hormones in the body. 5-β-Androstane-3-β,17-β Diol-3-Sulfate-[D4] is often used to study the metabolism and effects of DHEA in the body, as well as the role of sulfation in steroid metabolism and excretion. In addition to its research applications, this steroid may also have potential as a therapeutic agent. DHEA and its metabolites have been studied for their potential anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and cognitive-enhancing effects, and 5-β-Androstane-3-β,17-β Diol-3-Sulfate-[D4] may be useful in further investigating these properties. It is important to note that this compound is intended for research purposes only and is not intended for human or animal consumption. Proper safety precautions should be taken when handling and storing this compound, as it may be hazardous if not handled correctly.
