Ent-Testosterone is an enantiomer of the primary male sex hormone testosterone.
Enantiomers are pairs of stereoisomers, called antipodes, optical antipodes, or optical isomers. They are mirror images of each other, and one can’t be superimposed on the other. Enantiomers have the same connectivity but opposite three-dimensional structures.
Testosterone is a steroid sex hormone, produced mainly by the Leydig cells in the testes in men and in smaller amounts by the ovaries in women. Small quantities of the hormone are also synthesized in the cortex of the adrenal glands in both sexes.
Testosterone is responsible for a number of processes in the male organism. The hormone plays a key role in the regulation of sex differentiation, spermatogenesis, development of primary and secondary male sex characteristics, fertility, muscle mass, fat distribution, and erythropoiesis.
Ent-Testosterone is a compound suitable to include in studies aimed at the continued exploration of the effects and abilities of the androgenic hormone.
Avanti Lipids offers high-purity Ent-Testosterone to be used as a research standard in a broad range of research-use-only analyses.
