THE IN VIVO CONVERSION OF DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE AND ANDROSTENEDIONE TO TESTOSTERONE IN THE HUMAN

Virendra B. Mahesh, Robert B. Greenblatt

Open publisher page 90 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT Plasma testosterone levels were measured by the method of Finkelstein et al. (1961) before and after oral administration of dehydroepiandrosterone and Δ4-androstenedione in normal women. The results suggest in vivo conversion of dehydroepiandrosterone and Δ4-androstenedione to testosterone. The implications of these findings are discussed.
