INTRODUCTION Combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) use is becoming an increasingly recognized causes of vestibulodynia. AIM This study aims to describe pre- and posttreatment vestibular pain, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and calculated free testosterone levels in women undergoing treatment for vestibulodynia. METHODS This was a chart review of 50 premenopausal women who presented ...

The research was conducted on 10 Merino rams to determine the effect of testosterone, growth hormone and cortisol levels sperm quality. A significant relationship detected between blood seminal plasma testosterone (P ˂ 0.01). No GH a measurable level in plasma, it determined that levels, just as began increase with approach reproductive season, peaked at start season. Plasma other hand, while i...

background: the secretion of thyroxin (t4) as the main hormone of thyroid gland is regulated by androgens. the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of testosterone and finasteride administration and castration on serum levels of t4 and to show the effect of this regulation on total body weight, weight of testis, and the weight of prostate. methods: male adult rats (n = 32) were divided in...

The effect of progesterone and testosterone on interferon production and on the viral infection-enhancing (VIE) activity of estrone and hydrocortisone was investigated. Neither hormone interfered with interferon production. Progesterone reduced the VIE activity of estrone but not that of hydrocortisone. Testosterone had no effect on the VIE activity of either hormone. It is concluded that the l...

Background: Recent studies reported lower androgen levels in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalized patients which linked to a worse prognosis. However, these were conducted with active and long-term consequences are still not yet known. Therefore, we aimed evaluate the late impact of COVID-19 pneumonia on testosterone recovered, post-hospitalized males. Methods: We enrolled 55 pneumo...

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is the major serum carrier of sex hormones. However, growing evidence suggests that SHBG is internalised and plays a role in regulating intracellular hormone action. This study was to determine whether SHBG plays a role in testosterone uptake, metabolism, and action in the androgen sensitive LNCaP prostate cancer cell line. Internalisation of SHBG and testost...

BACKGROUND Testosterone, a male reproductive hormone, affects several physiological processes, such as sperm production, energy, strength, sexual behavior, sleep and the general well being of men. Normal levels of testosterone are necessary to effect these physiological processes. The objective of this study was to study the association between testosterone levels in a sample of Ugandan men wit...

Heart failure is a chronic clinical syndrome with very poor prognosis. Despite being on optimal medical therapy, many patients still experience debilitating clinical symptoms and have poor quality of life. In recent years, there is great interest in anabolic hormone replacement therapy—namely, growth hormone and testosterone— as an adjunctive therapy in patients with advance heart failure. It h...
