It is generally assumed that these substances are waste products formed from testosterone secreted into the blood stream by the gonads, but it is just as reasonable to expect that one or both of these urinary products may be precursors of testosterone or that they, or still other androgenic substances, may originate in part in other tissues or...References1.
