Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Androstenedione, commonly known as Androstenedione, is an endogenous androgen steroid hormone. 4-Androstenedione functions as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of testosterone, estradiol and estrone. Recent studies indicate that 4-Androstenedione is involved in aromatase inhibitors induce painful musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS) by activation of TRPA1.
Testosterone precursor and metabolite with androgenic activity; may increase the risk of prostate or pancreatic cancer.

Aromatase inhibitors (AI) induce painful musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS), which are dependent upon the pain transducing receptor TRPA1. However, as the AI concentrations required to engage TRPA1 in mice are higher than those found in the plasma of patients, we hypothesized
