"testosterone increased basal reactive oxygen species"

"human PC xenografts growing in male SCID mice supplemented with
testosterone had intense staining for 8-OHdG compared to the same
tumors growing in castrated animals

This staining identifies modified DNA formed by attacks of hydroxyl
radicals"

"Androgens increase bROS levels in an AR-dependent manner. In vivo
effect on human PC xenografts. (A) In vivo expression of oxidative
stress-induced lipid peroxidation as detected by the presence of 4-HNE
protein adducts"
