The fact the conversion happens in the blood complicates the accurate measurement of blood levels of testosterone induced by the drug, as the conversion continues to occur while blood samples are being prepared for assay. Ideally, enzyme inhibitors should be used to properly assay the blood testosterone levels induced by testosterone undecanoate.
Biochemical effects of 17β-hydroxysteroid deficiency-3 in testosterone biosynthesis. Typically levels of androstenedione are significantly increased, whilst testosterone levels are decreased, leading to male undervirilization. Symptoms: Hypothyroidism, Cryptorchidism [2] Causes: Mutations found in the 17β-HSD III gene [3] Diagnostic method
As finasteride doesn’t lower your testosterone levels, it shouldn’t cause any side effects related to low testosterone like reduced drive, delayed climax, or other dysfunction problems.
Treatment is often prescribed for total testosterone levels below 230 ng/dL with symptoms. [13] If the serum total testosterone level is between 230 and 350 ng/dL, free or bioavailable testosterone should be checked as they are frequently low when the total is marginal. [citation needed]

[20]
Side effects of testosterone enanthate include symptoms of masculinization like acne, increased hair growth, voice changes, and increased sexual desire. [5] The drug is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid and hence is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
