The steroid 4-androsten-3-one-17beta-carboxylic acid (17betaC) reduced the growth-promoting actions of testosterone, but not those of DHT in accessory sex tissues of castrated mice. The 5alpha-reduction of testosterone to DHT in these tissues was also reduced by 17betaC treatment, suggesting that DHT formation is a required step in the mechanism of action of testosterone.
甾体4-雄烯-3-酮-17β-羧酸(17βC)可降低睾酮对去势小鼠附属生殖器官的促生长作用,但对双氢睾酮(DHT)无此作用。17βC处理还可降低这些组织中睾酮向DHT的5α-还原作用,提示DHT的形成是睾酮作用机制中的一个必要步骤。
