[QUOTE="Rand McClain DO, post: 111894, member: 90"] Hi lexer, Not sure if I answered your question, but it appears that at some point I hadn't. Sorry to you and others whose questions I haven't answered. I screwed up initially answering questions without tying them to each other (question with answer) so I frankly got lost in what had and hadn't been answered. Please feel free to "double up" on a question if it goes too long without an answer. My bad. As for the DHT, yes, presumably (and as witnessed in practice), by reducing the average titer of T you will reduce your average titer of DHT. This reduction appears NOT to be linear either as the body tends to "overreact" to higher levels than more moderate levels, particularly when above "normal" range.
