The culture of human male foreskin fibroblasts was incubated with various concentrations of testosterone in the medium. It has been shown that the minimum formation of 17beta-oestradiol and 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone occurs at physiological testosterone concentrations. Any deviation of testosterone concentration, both up and down, was accompanied by an increase in the formation of 17beta-oestradiol and 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone.
