Chemistry:Phytoandrogen

Short description: Androgens and anabolic steroid

Phytoandrogens are substances produced in plants which have effects similar to testosterone in animals.

Examples

• Triterpenoids from the Eucommia ulmoides tree can act as phytoandrogens.
• Drupanol is a phytoandrogen.

Environmental effects

Phytoandrogens have been implicated in sex-reversal in fish.

See also

• Phytoestrogen
• Plant hormone
