11-oxygenated androgens in healthy young adults: Does use of hormonal contraceptives matter? The Fit Futures Study
Females had lower concentrations of 11-OxyA than males, partly explained by use of CHC, as users had significantly lower concentrations of 11-OxyA than non-CHC users, except 11OHA4. These findings suggest an additional mechanism for CHC in treatment of hyperandrogenic conditions, in which 11-OxyA are elevated.
