Androstenetriol

Androstenetriol (AET, androst-5-ene-3β,7β,17β-triol, β-androstenetriol, or βAET) is a steroid produced in the adrenal glands as a metabolite of DHEA. It is believed to have similar effects as DHEA and androstenediol. A study in rodents found that the compound was a weak androgen and estrogen, but did not attach to the androgen, estrogen, progesterone, or glucocorticoid receptors. Synthetic analogs of AET known as HE3286 and NE3107 have been developed.
