How can you use “hsd” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

A third altered candidate gene within the chromosome 13 QTL is Hsd17b3 . This gene encodes a 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase expressed primarily in testis but also in several other tissues, including brain [ 30].
Hsd17b3 catalyzes the interconversion of androstenedione and testosterone, favoring the reduction reaction [ 31].
Although Slc5a7, Nrif-2, Srd5a1 , and Hsd17b3 are promising candidates to underlie these two QTLs, a significant number of altered genes were also identified that cannot formally be ruled out at this time, either in place of, or in addition to, these three genes.
As discussed below, three genes for which allelic variations were detected, Srd5a1, Nrif-2 , and Hsd17b3 are thought to be particularly promising biological candidates to underlie the chromosome 13 QTL.
In addition, definitive confirmation that Slc5a7, Nrif-2, Srd5a1 and Hsd17b3 (or other promising candidate genes if they arise) are involved in predisposition to physical dependence on ethanol will probably require verification using transgenics (for example, allele substitution or bacterial artificial chromosome transgenics).
