Background: The impact of testosterone (T) treatment on antidoping detection tests in female-to-male (F2M) transgender men is unknown. We investigated urine and serum sex steroid and luteinizing hormone (LH) profiles in T-treated F2M men to determine whether and, if so, how they differed from hypogonadal and healthy control men.
Method: Healthy transgender (n = 23) and hypogonadal (n = 24) men aged 18 to 50 years treated with 1000 mg injectable T undecanoate provided trough urine and blood samples and an additional earlier postinjection sample (n = 21).
