Objectives: Our objective was to look into the way in which women with elevated testosterone were evaluated. We looked into why testosterone levels were done, who requested them, what other investigations were done, what was the final diagnosis and what treatment was given. Methods: Patients with...
Background: Severe hirsutism in women in conjunction with elevated testosterone level raises concern for androgen secreting tumors. When initial investigations and radiological imaging do not identify a tumorous pathology, clinicians are faced with a dilemma on whether to investigate further or to ...
This treatment resulted in maternal neuroendocrine-driven testosterone excess and diminished placental metabolism of testosterone to estradiol, resulting in a masculinization of the exposed female fetus and a PCOS-like reproductive and neuroendocrine phenotype in adulthood. We found that the affected females...
Elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone in a newborn with 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency. Elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone in a newborn with 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency. N Engl J Med 1985; 313:618-621... ...
Other evidence suggests that disease progression is faster in men than in women with CKD, possibly due to the protective effects of estrogen on the kidneys and the detrimental effects of testosterone in men [28, 29]. In our study, the association between TyG-BMI and incident CKD was stronger...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge and the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark have discovered that children who later develop autism are exposed to elevated levels of steroid hormones (for example testosterone, progesterone and corti
such as Reinke Crystals shown in other androgen-secreting ovarian tumors [Citation8]. The clinical syndromes and radiological examination provide clues to the SCT-NOS. The histopathological examination confirmed the SCT-NOS. The level of testosterone in our case elevated on the diagnosis of the tumor...
Serum measurements of bioactive (bio) luteinizing hormone (LH), immunoreactive (i) LH, iLH/follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratios, serum androgens and estradiol (E2) were determined in 20 women with the clinical diagnosis of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO), and compared with the levels ...
