Production and Function

Androstadienol is produced in the adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of each kidney. The adrenal glands produce a variety of hormones, including cortisol, adrenaline, and androgens. Androstadienol is one of the androgens produced by these glands.

The function of androstadienol in the human body is not fully understood. However, it is known to be a pheromone, which is a chemical that affects the behavior of others of the same species. In humans, androstadienol has been shown to affect the mood of women. In one study, women who were exposed to androstadienol reported feeling more relaxed and less tense.

Research into the effects of androstadienol is ongoing. Some studies have suggested that it may have a role in human attraction. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of this pheromone on human behavior.
