The level of androgens, in serum, was referred to as T+DHT considering that the anti-testosterone serum №250 showed 100% cross-reactivity with DHT (for references, please see [20 (link),22 (link)]). Serum androgen levels were measured via radioimmunoassay. All samples were measured in duplicate in one assay (sensitivity: 6 pg per tube; intra-assay coefficient of variation 5–8%). Serum corticosterone (CORT) levels in all samples were measured in duplicate in one assay using the corticosterone EIA Kit (Cayman Chemical, Michigan, MI, USA) with 30 pg/mL as the lowest standard significantly different from blank.
