MeSH definition : The 17-alpha isomer of TESTOSTERONE, derived from PREGNENOLONE via the delta5-steroid
pathway, and via 5-androstene-3-beta,17-alpha-diol. Epitestosterone acts as an antiandrogen
in various target tissues. The ratio between testosterone/epitestosterone is used
to monitor anabolic drug abuse.;
