Phytoandrogen
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.[1]
- Drupanol is a phytoandrogen.[2]
Environmental effects
Phytoandrogens have been implicated in sex-reversal in fish.[3]
