results: this study showed significantly lowered concentrations of testosterone (3.11 nm/l ± 0.34) and hdl (0.39 mmol/l ± 0.02), in addition to the expected increased concentrations of fasting plasma glucose (9.61 mmol/l ± 0.37) in the subjects compared to controls (p < 0.05). an inverse significant correlation was observed between the serum testosterone concentration and metabolic syndrome (bm...

Recent ideas suggest that current immunocompetence may act as a constraint on behavioural and physiological decisions, where these risk imposing an additional burden on immune function. We tested this in the context of time budgeting and the secretion of the potentially immunodepressive hormones testosterone and corticosterone, by treating adult male CFLP laboratory mice with antithymocyte seru...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-acting i.m. testosterone undecanoate (TU) in Malaysian men with testosterone deficiency (TD). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 120 men, aged 40-70 years, with TD (serum total testosterone [TT] ≤ 12 nmol/L) were randomised to receive either i.m. TU (1000 mg) or placebo. In all, 58 and 56 men in the placebo and treatment arm, respectively, co...

Background: In urban environment, exposure to the emission of motor vehicles is common. In urban peoples it is a very difficult task to distinguish among peoples with different grades of momentous period exposure to such pollutants. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of diesel exhaust, gasoline emission, Particulate Matter (PM) noise and heat on the reproductive...

The aim of this study was to find out the effect of fetal sex on maternal serum total testosterone level and its application for fetal sex determination. Journal of Biology and Life Science ISSN 2157-6076 2014, Vol. 5, No. 2 www.macrothink.org/jbls 59 Forty healthy pregnant (second trimester) females were recruited in the study from rural areas of district Dir lower, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakista...

Objectives: To determine testosterone fractions in Japanese men and to compare the values as stratified by age with those of Framingham Heart Study (FHS) subjects. Methods: We enrolled 498 healthy Japanese men. Total testosterone (msTT) was assayed by LC-MS/MS, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) was assayed by immunoassay and free testosterone (cFT) was calculated by a lab at the Boston Medica...

Background. The low serum level of testosterone in the elderly subjects may contribute to coronary artery disease (CAD). Our aim is to study serum levels of free testosterone in elderly men with CAD. Subjects and Methods. This study was conducted on 100 elderly males with CAD, one half of them was presented with ACS (with mean age 69.6 ± 2.44 year), and the other half was presented with stable ...
