message: what is the active life stage of androgen
Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking. Try rephrasing and I will try answering. alteripse 00:45, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Active life stage? 

message: Like taking one cicle of a month? thanks for any info you can give me.
Sorry, an accurate answer will be vague. The long term effects can be enormously different depending on the dose, your age and sex and current androgen effects. For example the effects measurable 5 years after a healthy 20 year old man takes 1 month of a standard adult male replacement dose will be minimal. Effects of that same dose for 3 months in a prepubertal 12 year old might include permanent loss of 2 inches of adult height potential. Effects of that same dose in a 70 year old man with unknown prostate cancer might include growth of the cancer. Wanted and unwanted short and long term effects of all hormones are always dependent on dose, length of treatment, and the hormone status of the person taking them. No exceptions. alteripse 22:14, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  what are the long term effects of using androgen? 

message: The first paragraph says that all androgens are synthesised from androstane. The section on dehydroepiandrosterone says that this one is synthesized from cholesterol in the adrenal cortex. As cholesterol is the original precursor of all steroid hormones, I suppose this latter information can be lifted out. It is confusing rather than informative. / Habj 19:42, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Request:
Informative article; please consider including a paragraph on androgen as a treatment for severe anemia. Particularly interested in how it increases hemoglobin. Thanks!

message: The whole section does not belong in this article. I assume someone copy/pasted from their own lab course work, but just in case it was written de novo for this article, the contributor can retrieve it and use it elsewhere. Please do not replace it here thanks. If you really dont understand why it doesnt belong in this project, ask and I will explain. Thanks. alteripse 14:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Screening Methods for Androgens

message: "Androgens are also the original anabolic steroids and the precursor of all estrogens, which are stress hormones."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xojo (talk • contribs) 18:25, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither androgens nor estrogens are "stress" hormones.  The glucocorticoids are "stress" hormones. I have therefore deleted stress hormone from the lead. Boghog (talk) 03:45, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which are stress hormones? Estrogens? Anabolic steroids? Androgens? All?

replies: text: – "Derivatives of the steroid androstane having two double bonds at any site in any of the rings."  I suppose the androstadiene redirect should be converted into a stub similar to androstane. Boghog (talk) 04:08, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why does "[[androstadiene]]" redirect here? 

message: Nothing can be understood from the entire section of 'Androgenic impact of exercise'.
Every sentence contradicts the one the came before it.
All the information there should be organized so it would be clear when the androgens go up and when they go down.
: The problem with this section is that it is based almost entirely on primary sources. The results of these studies are often contradictory.  Even worse, this section mixes animal with human studies.  Since results in animals don't always translate to humans, this can cause additional confusion.  This entire section needs to be rewritten based on WP:MEDRS compliant secondary sources (i.e., review articles).  This would likely result in a much more coherent picture.

replies: text:  I also came here to comment this section seems disproportionately long and detailed, considering the article is about a class of chemical/hormone while the section is narrowly focused on what exercise does to values of different hormone levels - some of which aren't even androgens as far as I can tell.  As said above it should generally be shorter, clearer, and use secondary sources, but maybe the information should also be moved away from here and to some exercise-related article similar to Neurobiological effects of physical exercise.

thread_title:  Androgenic impact of exercise 

message: As can be seen in sources such as here and here, a certainly not insignificant amount of female testosterone seems to be made by intake of DHEA-S, which then goes through STS and a few other enzymes to become T and DHT before being metabolised and conjugated into inactive glucuronide forms and released. The article at present mostly seems to suggest that circulating androgen levels are metabolised in either the adrenals or gonads, and misses the bigger picture that many tissues in the body can and do metabolise their own sources of more active androgens.
