| | After 7 days of creatine loading, or a further 14 days of creatine maintenance dose, serum T levels did not change. However, <wrap hi>levels of DHT increased by 56% after 7 days of creatine loading and remained 40% above baseline after 14 days maintenance</wrap> (P < 0.001). The ratio of DHT:T also increased by 36% after 7 days creatine supplementation and remained elevated by 22% after the maintenance dose (P < 0.01). |
