Neurosteroid

Androstenol

Androstenol (5-alpha-androst-16-en-3-alpha-ol, with a 3-beta epimer) is an endogenous 16-androstene steroid (a C19 steroid that lacks the C-17 oxygen of typical androgens) and a putative human chemosignal. It is synthesized alongside testosterone in the testis, secreted in axillary (underarm) sweat, and also occurs as a major aroma component of truffles, where its volatile, musky odor is biologically active. Its documented neuroactivity in humans is chemosensory; smelling androstenol has been reported to shift self-rated mood and social judgments in some experiments and to activate the anterior hypothalamus in women, although rigorous reviews consider the evidence for a true human pheromone effect weak and inconsistent. It is grouped with the neurosteroids because it is a steroid with measurable central chemosensory and neuroendocrine effects, not because a defined ion-channel mechanism has been established.
