Reading Time: 2 minutesQ: I AM a 61-year-old man in generally good health, but Ive been experiencing some worrying symptoms lately. I just dont seem to have the vigour I once had, I feel fatigued much of the time, as though my mind were in a fog, and my enthusiasm for work and recreation isnt what it once was. Could I be suffering from testosterone deficiency? If so, is testosterone replacement safe and effective at my age? What tests should I undergo? What are the risks of the therapy? A: You ask some important questions, ones I hear all the time from men … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesQ: At age 29, I had to have a hysterectomy that included my ovaries. After the fat-stored estrogen left my body (producing horrid hot flashes), I complained to my OB-GYN about my missing libido. He wrote me a prescription for an estrogen and testosterone mix. I began taking the pills, but I had strange changes in my body. I developed acne, facial hair, body hair and a low voice. I even began to walk differently. It helped some with sex drive, but I felt less and less feminine and more masculine. I hated it. I don't think testosterone is worth … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Scientists say they now have new evidence about why women live longer than men, from a study of historical data showing castrated Koreans far outlived their non-eunuch contemporaries. The study, published in the scientific journal "Current Biology," used detailed genealogical records of the Imperial nobility during Korea's Joseon dynasty, which spanned more than 500 years from the late 1300s to the early 1900s. According to the data, most men, including kings and royal family members, died in their late-40s or early-50s. But noble-class eunuchs - men who were castrated either by accident or because of social … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesWashington, Feb 1 (ANI): Researchers have found that low testosterone levels occur five times more often among men who take long-acting instead of short-acting opioids for chronic pain. While it has been known that opioids cause low testosterone in men, this study is the first to show a significant difference in risk between short-acting (immediate release) and long-acting opioids. The 81 men in the retrospective study were between 26 and 79 years old (median age 51) and were seen in the chronic-pain clinic at Kaiser Permanente's Santa Rosa Medical Center (Calif.) between January 2009 and June 2010. All of the … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesA testosterone test checks the level of this male hormone (androgen) in the blood. Testosterone affects sexual features and development. In men, it is made in large amounts by the testicles . In both men and women, testosterone is made in small amounts by the adrenal glands , and in women, by the ovaries . The pituitary gland controls the level of testosterone in the body. When the testosterone level is low, the pituitary gland releases a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH). This hormone tells the testicles to make more testosterone. Before puberty, the testosterone level in boys is normally … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesScienceDaily (May 10, 2012) By comparing the testosterone levels of five-month old pairs of twins, both identical and non-identical, University of Montreal researchers were able to establish that testosterone levels in infancy are not inherited genetically but rather determined by environmental factors. "Testosterone is a key hormone for the development of male reproductive organs, and it is also associated with behavioural traits, such as sexual behaviour and aggression," said lead author Dr. Richard E. Tremblay of the university's Research Unit on Children's Psychosocial Maladjustment. "Our study is the largest to be undertaken with newborns, and our results contrast with the … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesApr. 3, 2013 Low testosterone levels may herald the subsequent development of rheumatoid arthritis in men, suggests research published online in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. Sex hormones are thought to play a part in the development of rheumatoid arthritis, and both men and women with the condition tend to have lower levels of testosterone in their blood than healthy people. But it is not clear whether this is a contributory factor or a consequence of the disease. The researchers based their findings on participants of the Swedish Malmo Preventive Medicine Program (MPMP), which began in 1974 and tracked … Read more »

The results, published online in PLoS Genetics, also reveal that some of the genetic markers for this protein are near genes related to liver function, metabolism and type 2 diabetes, demonstrating an important … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesTUESDAY, May 28 (HealthDay News) -- After winning a team competition against strangers or rivals, men's testosterone levels increase. But when they're victorious against friends, their testosterone levels remain the same, according to a new study. This response during group competition is rooted in evolution and related to how humans form coalitions or alliances in warfare, the researchers said. "One interesting thing about humans is that we are the only animal that competes in teams," Mark Flinn, a professor of anthropology at the University of Missouri, said in a university news release. "Our hormonal reactions while competing are part of … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minuteBoston, MA (PRWEB) December 12, 2013 Increasing numbers of men around the world are suffering from low testosterone levels at earlier ages than ever. In a new video from Diet Recommendations, their team of researchers discusses how testosterone levels in men are being negatively impacted through diet, lifestyle, and even environmental issues. The video mentions how men dealing with low testosterone levels tend to have lower energy levels, a lower libido, and how low testosterone can even cause issues with erectile dysfunction. There is hope for men that cannot afford testosterone replacement therapies to increase testosterone because once a person … Read more »
