Chemical compound
Androsterone glucuronide (ADT-G ) is a major circulating and urinary metabolite of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).[ 1] It accounts for 93% of total androgen glucuronides in women.[ 1] ADT-G is formed from androsterone by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases , with the major enzymes being UGT2B15 and UGT2B17 .[ 1] It is a marker of acne in women while androstanediol glucuronide is a marker of hirsutism (excess hair growth) in women.[ 2]
Relevance in women's health
Quantification of ADT-G and 3α-diol-G levels in Serum (blood) is an effective means of assessing androgen content in blood and androgenic activity in women.[ 3] Androsterone glucuronide content can be estimated using Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry .[ 3] [ 4] If an unusual level of ADT-G is observed in the blood (either an elevated or decreased amount), proper treatment plans can be developed in order to treat related symptoms.[ 3]
Elevated levels of androsterone glucuronide in the blood have been observed in adult females who present with inflammatory acne.[ 5] The introduction of therapeutic antiandrogen treatment and the use of an oral Contraceptive by women who are affected with androsterone related acne can decrease the amount of inflammatory acne present.[ 5]
