Background. Diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is based on ovulatory dysfunction, ovarian ultrasound data, and androgen excess. Total testosterone is frequently used to identify androgen excess, but testosterone is mainly bound to sex hormone ...

Purpose: Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can potentially cause decreased spermatogenesis and subsequent infertility. Recent studies have suggested that 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is a reliable surrogate for intratesticular testosterone (ITT)

Time-varying testosterone level and risk of myocardial infarction and stroke among hypogonadal men: a longitudinal study in Germany [PDF]
Background and objective: Findings on the association between testosterone and cardiovascular risk in men have been inconsistent. Previous studies investigated this association based on testosterone level measured at one single point in time (e.g ...

Testosterone and the heart [PDF]
Several large scale studies in recent years have demonstrated increased cardiovascular mortality in men with low testosterone, especially those with existing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In some patients the baseline measurement was a single total testosterone level, in others the association was seen only with free or bioavailable ...

The detection of putative 18‐methyl‐19‐norandrosterone in a forensic urine sample has triggered a follow‐up investigation. Doping substances in the possession of the suspect were examined with regard to possible precursor steroids. 18‐Methyl‐19‐nortestosterone proved to be a suitable marker for reliable detection in doping analysis.

Hormonal Factors Moderate the Associations Between Vascular Risk Factors and White Matter Hyperintensities [PDF]
Objective: To examine the moderation effects of hormonal factors on the associations between vascular risk factors and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in men and women, separately. Methods: WMH were automatically segmented and quantified in the UK Biobank dataset (N = 18,294). Generalised linear models were applied to examine 1) the main effects of

Profiling of FSHR Negative Allosteric Modulators on LH/CGR Reveals Biased Antagonism with Implications in Steroidogenesis [PDF]
Biased signaling has recently emerged as an interesting mean to modulate the function of many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Previous studies reported two negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), ADX68692 and ADX68693, with differential effects on FSHR-mediated steroidogenesis and ovulation.

The growing interest in testosterone's effects on men's social behaviors, in particular aggressive, risk-taking, or status maintenance behaviors, is accompanied by a paucity of dose-dependent pharmacokinetic data. Examining the neurophysiological effects
