SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Blood samples were taken from 669 manual workers (aged 43-67 years) to measure sex hormone levels, in particular bioavailable testosterone (BAT). At the same time BMI was calculated. All participants completed the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) for the evaluation of ...
Results A significant positive association between bioavailable testosterone and DSST (尾: 0.049, p =.002) score was detected, with no signs of a plateau effect. No significant associations with CERAD WLLT (p =.132), WLRT (p =.643), WLLT-IC (p =.979), and WLRT-IC (p ...
Antipyrine and testosterone (5 μM each) were included as positive and negative controls, respectively (gray bars). One representative experiment is shown. (b) CT-L proteasome activity present in indicated whole cell lysates of 10 human myeloma cell lines was determined through specific cleavage ...
These results suggest that testosterone treatment might improve depressed mood in older men who have low levels of bioavailable testosterone. A clinical trial is necessary to test this hypothesis.doi:10.1210/jcem.84.2.5495Barrett-Connor Elizabethvon Muhlen Denise GKritz-Silverstein Donna...
Bioavailable Testosterone (BT) is henceforth well-known to be much more useful than Total Testosterone (TT) for interpretation. BT is mostly explored in case of suspicion of hypogonadism in men or hyperandrogenism in women. The reference technique to assay BT is ultracentrifugation, but Radio-...

Joint effects of breast radiation dose and circulating levels of sex hormones were assessed using binary regression and path analysis.Results and conclusion: Radiation exposure, higher levels of bE2, testosterone and progesterone, and established reproductive risk factors were positively associated with ...
