An expanded metabolic pathway for androgen production by host-associated bacteria

2024-06-09

Abstract excerpt

A growing body of literature implicates host-associated microbiota in the modulation of circulating androgen levels in the host, which could have far-reaching implications for androgen-mediated diseases. However, the microbial genetic pathways involved in androgen production remain unknown. Here, we report the first host-associated microbial gene ( desF ) encoding an enzyme that catalyzes conversion of androstene...
