and depression.11There may be a causative relationship between lower testosterone levels and impaired cognitive function, perhaps via impaired neuron growth and axonal regeneration or accumulation of abnormally folded β-amyloid protein.10,12-14,19Studies using national samples have reported conflicting res...
These include cardiovascular and metabolic markers, testosterone testing (men), Pap testing, and tests for comorbid infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, Toxoplasma gondii, cytomegalovirus (CMV), varicella zoster virus, syphilis, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and human papillomavirus.

Male hypogonadism is defined as a clinical syndrome resulting from failure of the testes to produce physiological levels of testosterone and normal number of spermatozoa, due to disruption of one or more levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. ...
Breast cancer’s pathogenic effects include age [2], reproductive effects such as breastfeeding [3], testosterone levels and menopause [4], familial history, genetic disorders [5], and other environmental effects [6]. Anatomically, the breast is made up of healthy blood vessels, connective ...
Aging perturbs the homeostasis of skeletal muscle: the modification in the levels of growth hormone (GH), testosterone, thyroxine, and insulin growth factor (IGF) negatively affects muscle quality and strength [46], in particular reducing protein synthesis and metabolism of skeletal muscle cells [47...
