DOI: 10.1002/dta.3125
Abstract: At the Swedish national forensic toxicology laboratory, a measured testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio ≥12 together with testosterone/luteinizing hormone (T/LH) in urine >400 nmol/IU is considered as a proof of exogenous testosterone administration. However, according to the… read more here.
