Androgen treatment effects on memory in female-to-male transsexuals.
INTRODUCTION It has been hypothesized that cognitive and memory-related brain function in transsexuals during cross-sex hormonal treatment might be activated towards that of the subjective gender. However, research on this topic has produced inconsistent results, and to the best of our knowledge no studies have investigated memory changes in androgen-treated female-to-male (FM) transsexuals. ...

androgenetic alopecia who also present with particularly elevated dihydrotestosterone–testosterone ratios. The baldness theory should be included as a secondary hypothesis in large epidemiological studies of CAD. These predominantly inconclusive studies from the previous century are counterbalanced by several other positive studies performed in the current century. In 2000, Lotufo et al. [5] sh...
متن کاملThe effect of androgen treatment on bone metabolism in female-to-male transsexuals.
Histomorphometry was performed in iliac crest biopsies from 15 female-to-male (F-M) transsexuals with a mean age of 30 +/- 6.1 (SD) years. At the time of study, they had been treated with parenteral testosterone esters (250 mg/2 weeks) or oral testosterone undecanoate (160 mg/day). The median androgen treatment duration was 39 months. The patients had undergone hysterectomy and bilateral ovarie...
متن کاملMale pattern baldness is not associated with established cardiovascular risk factors in the general population.
A number of studies have shown an association between male pattern baldness (MPB) and cardiovascular disease. Few of these studies, however, have examined whether MPB is a novel risk factor, or is associated with abnormalities of established coronary risk factors. We have therefore performed an analysis of MPB and cardiovascular risk factors in the general population. A total of 1219 male parti...
