What is Pregnenolone?
The Pregnenolone test measures a steroid hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands, gonads, and brain. It serves as a crucial precursor for the synthesis of many other hormones, including cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone.
Why is this test important?
This test is valuable for evaluating adrenal gland function and investigating various hormone imbalances. It helps understand the body's steroid hormone production pathways and can aid in diagnosing certain endocrine disorders.
