The more I research, and the more I learn, the more I feel like a resolution to this problem is coming… I’m down, but I’m not out…Their are 60 minutes in football…not 59 minutes…
Anyways, here is another link to a great article that shows a study of average hormone concentrations in men. The study took over 700 individuals. 3-Adiol G concentrations is also on there, along with DHEA, and othere tests. The age range in this study is 17 years to 65 years.
The following steroid hormones were assayed:
androstane-3a-, 17b-diol glucuronide (3aDIOL-G),
androsterone glucuronide (ADT-G), cortisol, DHEA,
DHEA ester (DHEAE), DHEAS, dihydrotestosterone (DHT),
estradiol (E2), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (OH-PROG),
progesterone, pregnenolone ester (PREG-E), SHBG and
testosterone. A total of 750 individuals were available
for all the hormones, except for DHEA, DHEAE,
progesterone and PREG-E, for which the sample size
was 676

Read the article, and then take a glimpse at page 4 of the the article and look at androstane-3a-(ADT), 17b-diol glucuronide (3aDIOL-G) values…
A lot of finasteride sufferers have very low 3a-Adiol G values. This pattern has been developing.
