17-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,11-dione - Introduction
11-ketostosterone (11-ketotostosterone) is an endogenous steroid hormone that is synthesized in animals mainly by the gonads. It is structurally very similar to testosterone, with an additional ketone group on carbon number 11.
11-ketostosterone plays an important role in sexual differentiation and reproduction. In some fish, it is the key hormone of male sex characteristics, and is closely related to the expression of two sex pigment, development, reproductive behavior and so on. In addition, 11-ketostosterone is also involved in some physiological functions such as immune regulation, energy metabolism and growth.
At present, the preparation method of 11-ketostosterone is mostly obtained by extraction and purification methods. The most common source is from the testicular tissue of fish. After extraction, the pure 11-ketostosterone can be obtained by chemical reaction and separation and purification.
Regarding safety, 11-ketostosterone is widely used in animal research, but there is less research on human use. Therefore, further research and evaluation are needed for human safety. For the use of any chemical substance, it is necessary to comply with appropriate laboratory safety practices and follow relevant laws and regulations. If it is necessary to use 11-ketostosterone, it is recommended to consult relevant professional institutions or scientists engaged in research for more detailed and reliable information.
