The concentrations of serum total and free testosterone were studied in 30 healthy, middle-aged men during a dietary intervention program. When men were transferred from their customary diet to an experimental
female reproductive system. Likewise, testosterone is referred to as the male sex hormone for the roles it plays in male sexual development and function. It's true that women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) have much higher levels of estrogen, but they have some testosterone, too....

A simple blood test administered by your doctor can tell you how much testosterone your body is making and whether it...

Obesity increases the risk of metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. However, how metabolic status is sensed and regulates cellular behavior is unclear. Utx is an H3K27 demethylase that influences adipocyte function in vitro. To exa
Most studies have suggested that the absolute serum testosterone and free testosterone levels are not related to PCa risk. However, to date, the concurrent effect of free and total testosterone levels has not been evaluated. In particular, the association of the %FT (free testosterone/total ...
Female mice are often excluded from diet-induced obesity studies as they are more resistant to the obesifying effects of a high-fat diet (HFD). However, the underlying mechanisms behind this sex disparity may actually have important implications for the development and management of obesity in hum...
