Androstenedione hormone molecule
Androstenedione hormone molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the steroid hormone, dietary supplement and banned drug androstenedione (C19.H26.O2). Atoms are colour-coded (carbon: dark grey, hydrogen: light grey, oxygen: red) with the bonds between them as sticks. It is sold under the brand name Andro. This hormone is produced in the adrenal glands and is the precursor to the male and female sex hormones. It is used illegally by athletes seeking to enhance their sporting performances

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Androstenedione hormone molecule. With a white background, this organic composition highlights the essence of chemistry and biochemistry. The computer model reveals a molecular masterpiece, with atoms color-coded to depict their nature (carbon: dark grey, hydrogen: light grey, oxygen: red) and bonds represented as sticks. Androstenedione is not just any ordinary molecule; it serves multiple purposes in both biology and sports. Known as a steroid hormone, dietary supplement, and banned drug, it holds immense significance for athletes seeking an unfair advantage in their performances. Sold under the brand name Andro, this compound is produced naturally in the adrenal glands and acts as a precursor to male and female sex hormones. However, its use by athletes outside legal boundaries has raised concerns about fair play in sports. This molecular marvel represents more than just chemical structures; it symbolizes controversy surrounding performance enhancement through illegal means. Science Photo Library brings forth this stunning image that delves into pharmacology and endocrinology while shedding light on the world of athletic drugs. It serves as a reminder of how science intersects with sporting ethics – where molecules can hold power over physical prowess but also raise questions about integrity within competitive arenas.
