UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007664	Ketosteroids	Steroid derivatives formed by oxidation of a methyl group on the side chain or a methylene group in the ring skeleton to form a ketone.	Oxosteroids
D008297	Male		Males
D004822	Epididymis	The convoluted cordlike structure attached to the posterior of the TESTIS. Epididymis consists of the head (caput), the body (corpus), and the tail (cauda). A network of ducts leaving the testis joins into a common epididymal tubule proper which provides the transport, storage, and maturation of SPERMATOZOA.
D000731	Androstanes	The family of steroids from which the androgens are derived.
D000738	Androsterone	A metabolite of TESTOSTERONE or ANDROSTENEDIONE with a 3-alpha-hydroxyl group and without the double bond. The 3-beta hydroxyl isomer is epiandrosterone.	3-alpha-Hydroxy-5-alpha-Androstan-17-One,5 alpha-Androstan-3 alpha-ol-17-one,Epiandrosterone,3 alpha Hydroxy 5 alpha Androstan 17 One,5 alpha Androstan 3 alpha ol 17 one
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013196	Dihydrotestosterone	A potent androgenic metabolite of TESTOSTERONE. It is produced by the action of the enzyme 3-OXO-5-ALPHA-STEROID 4-DEHYDROGENASE.	5 alpha-Dihydrotestosterone,Androstanolone,Stanolone,17 beta-Hydroxy-5 beta-Androstan-3-One,17beta-Hydroxy-5alpha-Androstan-3-One,5 beta-Dihydrotestosterone,5-alpha Dihydrotestosterone,5-alpha-DHT,Anaprotin,Andractim,Dihydroepitestosterone,Gelovit,17 beta Hydroxy 5 beta Androstan 3 One,17beta Hydroxy 5alpha Androstan 3 One,5 alpha DHT,5 alpha Dihydrotestosterone,5 beta Dihydrotestosterone,Dihydrotestosterone, 5-alpha,beta-Hydroxy-5 beta-Androstan-3-One, 17
D015114	Androstenediol	An intermediate in TESTOSTERONE biosynthesis, found in the TESTIS or the ADRENAL GLANDS. Androstenediol, derived from DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE by the reduction of the 17-keto group (17-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES), is converted to TESTOSTERONE by the oxidation of the 3-beta hydroxyl group to a 3-keto group (3-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES).	5-Androstene-3,17-diol,5-Androstene-3beta-17beta-Diol,Androst-5-ene-3 beta,17 beta-Diol,Androst-5-ene-3,17-diol,Bisexovister,Delta 5-Androstenediol,Hermaphrodiol,delta 5-Androstene-3 beta,17 beta-Diol,5 Androstene 3,17 diol,5 Androstene 3beta 17beta Diol,Androst 5 ene 3 beta,17 beta Diol,Androst 5 ene 3,17 diol,Delta 5 Androstenediol,delta 5 Androstene 3 beta,17 beta Diol
