[QUOTE="madman, post: 204410, member: 13851"] [B]Figure 1. [U]Androgens production in women[/U]. In women, androgen production occurs largely in the ovaries and adrenal glands. Ovaries secrete progesterone, 17β-estradiol, and testosterone. Dihydroprogesterone, which binds to progesterone receptors, is derived from progesterone reduction by 5α-reductase. Adrenal glands predominantly secrete testosterone and DHEAS. Testosterone may be (i) partially aromatized to estradiol or (ii) reduced to DHT by 5α-reductase. Androstenediol, which may be derived from DHT by the action of 3αhydroxysteroid oxidoreductase (3α-HSOR), binds estrogen receptors. DHEAS is converted to (i) androstenedione or (ii) testosterone by 17β-HSD. Testosterone, DHT, androstenediol, and androstenedione activate androgen receptors.
