I would only use that term if T is fine but DHT and/or DHEA are low.

Hi @Nelson Vergel - this is great, but the post is quite hidden. This is the first time I see it!

It would be really helpful if you added a javascript plug-in for term definitions, so acronyms are automatically hilighted in posts and people can hover over to see the definition in a tooltip. There are quite a few open source JS libraries to do this, it's just a matter of finding one that works for your forum software.

Can I hire you to do this? Thanks
