Abstract. Context: Little is known about testosterone (T) levels and their determinants in women of late postmenopausal age.Objective: We describe levels o
Total testosterone, the free-androgen index, calculated free testosterone, and free testosterone by RIA were increased in 41-68% of hirsute women. Values for free testosterone increased in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy but remained within normal limits in all non-hirsute groups. ...
Total testosterone and free testosterone levels decline with increasing age, but the concentration of free testosterone declines more markedly.23-26 The resulting relative androgen deficiency in later life has been linked to decreased lean mass and increased fat mass, osteopenia, decreased muscle ...

Testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin and free androgen index among adult women: chronological and ovarian agingBACKGROUND In this study, levels and rates of change in total testosterone (T), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and free androgen index (FAI) were related to chronological age ...

The study assessed anthropometric and laboratory variables, in particular testosterone (T) in a group of obese men of 27 kg m(-2), 34 met the criteria of the metabolic syndrome (MS). Twenty men <40 years (with a BMI <25 kg m(-2)) were studied for comparison. It was found that wi...
SHBG is a plasma protein that participates in the regulation of free estradiol and free testosterone in plasma. We discuss the concept of the nature of a free estradiol and how best to ascertain its value. It can be measured or calculated; the ways in which this can be done are explored ...
This interdependency was evaluated by the assessment of plasma cortisol, salivary (ST) and plasma total testosterone (TT), testosterone not bound to sex-hormone-binding globulin (n-SHBGT), and free testosterone (FT) in normal and in hyperandrogenemic women during combined dexamethasone/synthetic ...
