Are you sure you are linking me to the right study? That is (69) in this statement:
“A first report described the ingestion of a substantial amount of non‐castrated pig meat (375 g) resulting in the excretion of 19‐norandrosterone in amounts reaching 3–7.5 ppb in the following hours. (69)
Another study confirmed that in spite of interindividual differences, 19‐NA and 19‐NE were always measured in specimens provided in the hours following the improbable ingestion (non‐castrated pig meat being difficult to find) of such meat‐rich meal composed of non‐castrated pig tissues, with levels even reaching 160 ng/ml in one case. (70)”
It would seem from context that “another study” means you really should link another study.
(70) also seems to show the same range of 3.1 to 7.5 ppb on 310g of meat.
Maybe you can also interpret Table 2 for me here:
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.steroids.2008.10.015It is definitely not “clostebol acetate” but “glucuroconjugated norandrosterone”.
While 300g of meat consistently gives a maximum of around 2 ng/ml in these subjects, it is not the same with liver, kidney, “sarapetal”, and heart.
Do I interpret it correctly that consuming 100g of liver gave one subject 14.4 ng/ml?
And consuming 300g of kidney, liver, heart mix gave three subjects with 21.4 ng/ml, 62.6 ng/ml, and one as much as 130 ng/ml for a 37 year old woman?
I don’t see stomach in the list, but it doesn’t seem to be much of a stretch to say that we don’t need a large quantity of “secret” ingredients in a burrito for a women to achieve 5 ng/ml.
