Testosterone boosts fluid and electrolyte secretion in seminal vesicles, aiding sperm function.
research 3 alpha, 17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide in plasma. A marker of androgen action in idiopathic hirsutism.
High levels of 3 alpha-diol glucuronide in the blood are a marker of increased androgen action in women with excessive hair growth of unknown cause.
research Long-Term Suppression of Testosterone After Treatment with a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist in a Woman with a Presumed Testosterone Secreting Ovarian Tumor
