Effect of oral dutasteride on oral testosterone (T) metabolism in vivo and in vitro. (a) Pharmacokinetic profile of testosterone and its primary (testosterone glucuronide (TG), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and androstenedione (AED)) and secondary (androsterone (A), androsterone glucuronide (AG), etiocholanolone (Etio), and etiocholanolone glucuronide (EtioG)) metabolites after single oral dose (200 mg) of testosterone with (dotted line) and without (solid line) dutasteride co‐administration (n = 7). Dots represent mean plasma concentration at individual sampling time points and bars represent SE. (b) Effect of co‐administered dutasteride on the levels of testosterone metabolites in the pooled serum (n = 7) indicating fold change at T200 and T800. (c) Effect of dutasteride cotreatment on the levels of DHT, A, and AG in human hepatocyte culture. Data for panels b and c were analyzed using Paired t test, **P value < 0.01, ***P value < 0.001.
