Abstract
Camacho and Migeon1 established that testosterone which had been recovered from the urine of normal subjects was largely conjugated with glucuronic acid. Recently, measurement of testosterone in urine after β-glucuronidase hydrolysis has been proposed as a satisfactory means of evaluating testicular function2 and testosterone production3 in male subjects.
