Androstenedione, or 4-androstenedione (abbreviated as A4 or Δ4-dione), also known as androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, is a type of androgen produced by the adrenal glands and gonads, serving as a critical precursor for the synthesis of key hormones such as testosterone and estradiol. As a vital intermediate in the steroid hormone synthesis pathway, A4 plays an essential role in various physiological processes, including the development of male and female secondary sexual characteristics, maintenance of sexual function, bone health, and muscle mass regulation. Abnormal fluctuations in A4 levels are often linked to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal hyperplasia, hypogonadism, and certain types of tumors. Accurate measurement of A4 is crucial for clinical diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring, and disease management.
