Does anybody have any information on the effect of synthetic hormones as HRT and the effect it would have on pheromone production? Or even a conjecture? Would androgel or androderm change a persons phero profile?

In theory, I think changing your hormone ratios should also change the ratios of metabolites that are excreted. Of course, the limiting factor in metabolite production would be whatever enzymes are responsible for converting hormones into them.

I wouldn't play around with your hormone ratios if I were you though... but as a theoretical discussion (in which I couldn't help much anyway for I don't have the knowledge) it'd be, of course, very interesting. And if the correct hormone-pheromone production relationship is found, we could slightly increase those hormones levels by 'natural' means, eating more of that or less of that, perhaps.

I've incorporated information on fractionated androsterone as an indicator of reproductive fitness in my most recent publication. It can be measured along with other androgenic components of urine that singled out the urine sample of one athlete who was "doping" compared to other athletes.
