ABSTRACT The relation of plasma free androgen levels to the pattern of sexual hair was studied. The possibility was explored that plasma free androgen levels in hirsute women might be increased by elevated concentrations of testosterone and other 17β-hydroxysteroids or by low “testosterone binding globulin” (TeBG). Nontestosterone 17β-hydroxysteroids are potentially androgenic, either inherently or by their ability to displace testosterone from binding sites. An index of the free plasma testosterone concentration was calculated as the product of the total concentration and the percentage of testosterone-3H free from TeBG as determined in diluted plasma by a charcoal absorption technique. An index of the free plasma 17β-hydroxysteroids3 and titer of TeBG (expressed as testosterone binding capacity) was obtained from the total concentration and percentage binding of 17β-hydroxysteroids to TeBG. Free testosterone and 17β-hydroxysteroid indexes were succesively higher in children, females, hirsute females and...
