A member asked:
Can pcos cause high androstenedione and normal testosterone levels?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sometimes: Normally androstenedione and testosterone levels mirror each other as aromatase is the enzyme that converts each into its estrogen and estradiol, respectively. So they really should be the with in normal limits at the same time.

Yes, but: Testosterone levels frequently normal but free testosterone is elevated because of a lower percent of testosterone being bound to sex hormone binding globulin!
