research Oral Testosterone in Oil: Pharmacokinetic Effects of 5 Reduction by Finasteride or Dutasteride and Food Intake in Men
Taking oral testosterone with finasteride or dutasteride doubles testosterone levels, and food slightly affects it.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
