Androgens
An androstenediol is any of a group of related steroid androgens.
An androstane is the steroid hydrocarbon from which all androgens are derived.
Yes, the sex hormones from the adrenal cortex are primarily androgens. The adrenal cortex produces hormones such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione, and testosterone which are considered androgens. These hormones play a role in the development of male secondary sex characteristics.
The zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex produces androgens, including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione. These androgens can be further converted into testosterone and estrogens in peripheral tissues.
