However, few studies have examined the influence of type II 5α-reductase on iron homeostasis or androgen-stimulated erythropoiesis in humans. Interestingly, hepatocytes (the predominant source of circulating hepcidin) express 5α-reductase (27), and human liver extracts actively convert T to DHT (16), indicating that 5α-reductase influences hepatic androgen metabolism. Interestingly, androgen-induced hepcidin suppression occurs in a dose-dependent manner within 7 days of TRT initiation in men (4), preceding the time frame in which HGB is elevated subsequent to androgen administration (4).
