Testosterone plays important roles in reproductive behaviour in many species. Despite a common belief that testosterone regulates fluctuations in human sexual desire, there is little direct evidence that relates within-person changes in natural testosterone production to within-person changes in sexual desire. Here, we measured daily salivary testosterone concentrations from 41 adult men for one month,… Continue reading Day-to-day associations between #testosterone, #sexual desire and #courtship efforts in young men

Higher blood concentrations of #testosterone are associated with reduced risk of developing type 2 #diabetes in men under 65
Testosterone appears protective against developing type 2 diabetes in men who are overweight or obese and under age 65, but not in men over that age, according to a study presented Saturday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston, Mass.“A low blood testosterone concentration is an independent risk factor for developing type… Continue reading Higher blood concentrations of #testosterone are associated with reduced risk of developing type 2 #diabetes in men under 65
#Prostate Safety Events During #Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Men With HypogonadismA Randomized Clinical Trial
Importance The effect of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on the risk of prostate cancer and other adverse prostate events is unknown.Objective To compare the effect of TRT vs placebo on the incidences of high-grade prostate cancers (Gleason score ≥4 + 3), any prostate cancer, acute urinary retention, invasive prostate procedures, and pharmacologic treatment for lower urinary tract… Continue reading #Prostate Safety Events During #Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Men With HypogonadismA Randomized Clinical Trial
Lower serum #testosterone is associated with increased likelihood of #arthritis
Studies have suggested that serum testosterone levels may be strongly correlated with the pathogenesis of arthritis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum testosterone levels and arthritis in US adults using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We used the database from NHANES, 2013–2016 to perform a… Continue reading Lower serum #testosterone is associated with increased likelihood of #arthritis
The Association between Popular #Diets and Serum #Testosterone among Men in the United States
..Mean ± SD serum testosterone was 435.5 ± 6.7 ng/dl. Mean testosterone was lower among men with a low fat diet (410.8 ± 8.1 vs 443.5 ± 7.3, p=0.005) and a Mediterranean diet (412.9 ± 9.1 vs 443.5 ± 7.3, p=0.002). Multivariable analysis controlling for age, body mass index, activity level, diabetes, comorbidities and prostate… Continue reading The Association between Popular #Diets and Serum #Testosterone among Men in the United States
The Effect of #Macronutrients on #Reproductive Hormones in Overweight and Obese Men: A Pilot Study
..Hypogonadal obese men find it difficult to lose weight. We investigated whether the modification of macronutrient intake can alter testosterone levels independently of the body mass index. Fasted overweight or obese fertile men were asked to consume meals of polyunsaturated fats (PUFA), monounsaturated fats (MUFA), refined carbohydrates (CHO, orange juice, OJ), whey and egg albumin… Continue reading The Effect of #Macronutrients on #Reproductive Hormones in Overweight and Obese Men: A Pilot Study
Association of #Testosterone Therapy With Risk of Venous #Thromboembolism Among Men With and Without #Hypogonadism
..A total of 39https://bit.ly/2qGlfy0622 men (mean [SD] age, 57.4 [14.2] years) were enrolled in the study, and 3110 men (7.8%) had evidence of hypogonadism. In age-adjusted models, testosterone therapy use in all case periods was associated with a higher risk of VTE in men with (odds ratio [OR], 2.32; 95% CI, 1.97-2.74) and without (OR,… Continue reading Association of #Testosterone Therapy With Risk of Venous #Thromboembolism Among Men With and Without #Hypogonadism
