introduction: this research was aimed at examining acute responses of hormones such as growth hormone (gh), total testosterone (tt), free testosterone (ft), free fatty acid (ffa) and cortisol to resistance (r), endurance (e) and endurance-resistance (er) exercise. methods: the participants of this study were 10 healthy young men. r protocol included bench press, lateral pull down, leg extension...

diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disease. its association with low level of testosterone is controversial. this study aimed to investigate the association between serum total testosterone, free testosterone index (fti), and sex hormone-binding globulin (shbg) in iranian men with type 2 diabetic.a case-control study was conducted on 38 non-diabetic and 36 diabetic men aged 40-60 years old...

BACKGROUND The capacity of the AMS scale as clinical utility and as outcome measure still needs validation. METHODS An open post-marketing study was performed by office-based physicians in Germany in 2004. We analysed data of 1670 androgen-deficient males who were treated with testosterone gel. The AMS scale was applied prior to and after 3 months treatment. RESULTS The improvement of compl...

Testosterone supplementation regimens are efficacious for improving both hypogonadal symptoms and serum total testosterone levels. Younger men appear to respond better to symptom improvement following testosterone therapy.

UNLABELLED Study Type - Therapy (RCT). Level of Evidence 1b. What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Testosterone deficiency syndrome can be treated with testosterone replacement in the form of injectable, transdermal, buccal and oral preparations. Long-acting i.m. testosterone undecanoate 1000 mg, which is given at 10-14 week intervals, has been shown to be adequate for susta...

The effects of exposure to chemical weapons containing sulfur mustards on the serum levels of total and free testosterone. gonadotropins and prolactin was investigated in young Iranian men. In the first five weeks after injury both serum total and free testosterone were significantly decreased as compared to control values. Three of 13 men had total testosterone below 300 ng/dL and two of ...

BACKGROUND Analog-based free testosterone test results, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations, and total testosterone concentrations are somehow related. This study used new experiments to clarify these relationships. METHODS An analog-based free testosterone immunoassay and a total testosterone immunoassay were applied to well-defined fractions of serum testosterone. First, they...
