Metabolite Identification
Common NameMesterolone
DescriptionMesterolone is a synthetic anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) with reported abuses in human sports. As for other AAS, mesterolone is also a potential doping agent in equine sports. In humans, mesterolone exhibits no inhibitory effects on hypophysial gonadotropin secretion or on spermatogenesis, unlike most androgens. Mesterolone has been used in the treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis in boys six to ten years of age. Mesterolone probably modulates the autonomic innervation of the vesical musculature with correction of the defective neural mechanism which is believed to be implicated in the pathogenesis of nocturnal enuresis. Mesterolone has been utilized in hypogonadism patients to increase total ejaculation volume and the concentration of fructose in the spermatic plasma to normal levels. Mesterolone treatment decreases cholesterol, beta-lipoproteins, fatty acid esters, free fatty acids, triglycerides and glycerol in human serum.
