Test converts to 3 beta androstanediol too. And so do a few other hormones I think. T converts to 3ba through 3-alpha-reductase. But a lot of shit converts to test too. I think having a large prostate is usually a sign of high levels of 3ba.
Yes
Never really looked into the effects of 3 beta androstanediol tbh, but I won't inhibit my DHT now cause I"m in puberty and it's the main hormone behind masculinization and I wanna look more masculine.
Yeah. 3ba is still a sneaky back door. You wouldn't want to have ample amounts of it. You don't anyway because it's usually only high in people with prostate issues. But people who abuse steroids can experience an enlarged prostate so maybe they couldve done with inhibiting 3AR so T doesn't convert to 3ba. Most DHT is converted from T anyways. But with duta/fin you're still not blocking all pathways because there's still the dirty backdoor of T->3ba->DHT. But typically you won't have problems with hairloss since you've reduced DHT by 95%+ for sure. You just don't want to upregulate that T->3ba->DHT pathway.
Androstenediol and Androstanediol are different hormones. Androstenediol is precursor that's further back in the chain which is formed through dehydroepiandrosterone and also plays apart in creating progesterone (I think). I'd have to look this up to verify it 100%
Yeah so,
Which most males have
