Introductory Physiology and Pharmacology of Androgens Endogenous androgens are well known for their many functions in promoting sexual differentiation and the induction of the male phenotype. In the male, the two endogenous androgens most active in promoting these effects are testosterone (T) and dihydroxytestosterone (DHT). T is the most quantitatively important androgen in systemic circulation […]

Classification corresponding to synergistic effect: pharmaceutical androgens A method that has proven useful in predicting stacking behavior of androgens other than testosterone is to systematically group them as either “Class I” or “Class II.” Pairs of androgens which combine with little or no synergy are assigned to the same class. Androgens combining very synergistically are […]
