[QUOTE="YBWV, post: 133366, member: 32335"] If the 100mg was all from injected T then 110 with a total in the 700s would seem slightly high but not if some was from transdermals. Reasons for higher than average conversion could include exposure to endocrine disruptors, other pharmaceutical/drug use, synthetic steroids, having higher than usual 5-ar activity - being a preferential converter - probably loads more. From the way you pose your question I assume that you had problems at those levels. The serum levels of DHT, more so than the other sex hormones, are not an accurate measure of activity in peripheral tissue. (Many TRT providers don't measure Serum DHT even for patients presenting with sexual dysfunction). Horton's 1992 study showed DHT to be a Paracrine hormone - formed and acting in target tissue - if that is the case then I assume an individual could have excessive DHT in some tissue and insufficiency elsewhere. Measuring and monitoring our own individual DHT levels, along with those of the other sex hormones, can help us over time to gauge what we need to do to improve hormonal function. [/QUOTE]
