In @haidut's recent post on the efficacy of oral unesterified testosterone, there was an interesting titbit about oral T increasing the antipyrine clearance time, as well as its own clearance. Here's the original quote:
Does this imply an improvement in the liver's ability to remove by glucuronidation unwanted hormones such as the estrogens? If true, oral T/DHT might hold the key to fixing a sluggish/fatty liver, which is something many of us suspect.
If the faster antipyrine clearance time is indeed a 'good' thing, I wonder if 1mg T + 1mg DHT per day ingested orally in an ethanol solution would be an interesting experiment.
Has anyone here tried T, or DHT (even 11-keto DHT) orally? If so, what were its effects?
Thoughts? Comments?
"…Six normal male volunteers ingested a dose of 400 mg free testosterone daily as tablets over 21 days. By the end of treatment intravenous antipyrine half-life had decreased significantly from 8.0 +/- 2.7 to 5.7 +/- 2.6 hr. The subjects eliminated testosterone from serum more rapidly on the twenty-first day of testosterone ingestion than on the first day."
