Steady state prostate mass as a function of serum testosterone for different levels of R t . Note that below R t = 25 nM mass quickly decreases for all serum T, while there is a reasonable stable region between 25 and 45 nM, after which mass increases roughly linearly with R t before leveling off. For higher values of R t than those displayed, increases in serum T can cause a reduction in prostate mass (see Figure 9).
