To characterize the pharmacokinetics of three doses sublingual testosterone in premenopausal women. Also, to investigate the SHBG saturation threshold influencing the free level and free fraction of testosterone.
We conducted an investigator-blind, randomized, cross-over placebo controlled study.
This study was undertaken at the research and development department of a scientific company for research regarding female sexual dysfunction.
16 healthy premenopausal women (mean age 27.3 卤 5.3 years).
Sublingual testosterone solution; 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 mg.
The pharmacokinetics of three single doses sublingual testosterone solution; the influence of SHBG levels on free and total levels of testosterone.
After sublingual testosterone administration, serum free and total testosterone levels peaked at 15 min and reached baseline levels within 150 min. The AUCs and Cmax of free and total testosterone differed significantly between the three doses (p < 0.0001) and increased dose-dependently.
A dose-dependent increase in free fraction of testosterone was found in women with low SHBG levels, but not in women with high SHBG levels.
The three doses sublingual testosterone are rapidly absorbed and quickly metabolized in premenopausal women. These data demonstrate the influence of SHBG levels on the treatment induced alterations in plasma free testosterone.
