While 1-testosterone can convert to DHT through an unusual pathway, the extent of that conversion is unknown. The extent of 1-tesotsterone s impact on the human prostate is unknown as well. According to assays on rats, prostate growth is similar to that with an equal dose of testosterone. But this is in castrate rats that have underdeveloped prostate glands to begin with. This kind of prostate growth (developmental growth) is in no way the same thing as benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH), the kind that can be damaging in humans. Since BPH is estrogen dependent, there is a possibility that 1-AD is in fact very prostate friendly. In case you do not know, DHT given by itself can actually reduce BPH because it reduces serum estrogen (US patent# 5,648,350, Dihydrotestosterone for use in androgenotherapy). The same may be true for 1-AD at this point we don’t really know.
