Etiocholanolone glucuronide explained

Etiocholanolone glucuronide (ETIO-G) is an endogenous, naturally occurring metabolite of testosterone.^{[1] [2]} It is formed in the liver from etiocholanolone by UDP-glucuronyltransferases. ETIO-G has much higher water solubility than etiocholanolone and is eventually excreted in the urine via the kidneys. Along with androsterone glucuronide, it is one of the major inactive metabolites of testosterone.^{[3] [4]}
