Test Overview
Androstenedione (A4) is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands, but also in the gonads and brain. It is a precursor to testosterone and estrogen and plays an important role in the body's hormonal balance. A4 can be measured in the bloodstream and is often used as a marker of androgen production. High levels of A4 in the serum may indicate an increased risk for conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and some types of cancer. A4 levels may also be elevated in athletes who use anabolic steroids to enhance their performance.
