“ Aminoglutethimide is an inhibitor of adrenal steroid biosynthesis and blocks the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone, and therefore reduces levels of adrenal androgens , which are a source of estrogens in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women.”
“Glucocorticoids, synthetic steroidal antiandrogens, aminoglutethimide , ketoconazole, and spironolactone also may be used to block adrenal androgens.”
