Genetic variation in androgen disposition: implications in clinical medicine including testosterone abuse.

Expert opinion on drug metabolism & toxicology - 1 Jul 2009

Schulze Jenny J, Rane Anders, Ekström Lena

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Testosterone replacement therapy in hypogonadal men has been used for > 60 years. The use of testosterone substitution is continuously growing and is given to aging men to improve the quality of life. Because testosterone use is associated with muscle strength enhancing effects, it has become a popular drug to abuse. Doping with anabolic steroids, such as testosterone, is a severe challenge to the...
