Conclusion: Our findings suggest that higher testosterone and lower E2 levels are associated with unstable plaque composition in men with carotid atherosclerotic disease and may partly explain the higher propor
High Testosterone Levels in Women If your body produces too much testosterone, you may have irregular or absent periods. You may also have more body and facial hair than the average woman. Some women with hightestosteronelevels develop frontal balding. Other possible effects include acne, an enlar...

For example, studies have shown that men with subnormal testosterone had higher levels of inflammatory markers (such as tumor necrosis factor-α). Estrogen enhanced the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines at low concentrations, as in post-menopausal women, and reduced their production at high ...
In male 3xTg-AD mice, gonadectomy (which reduces testoster- one) increases Aβ and tau pathology but is rescued by treatment with testosterone [73, 74]. While the effects of testosterone on MxD specifically are unclear, testosterone has a complicated influence on the cerebral vasculature [64,...
Eligible subjects included women aged 21−35 years with menstrual cycles of 21−45 days, body mass index (BMI) 18−30 kg/m2, infertility for ≥1 year, day 2 or 3 serum FSH levels of 1−12 IU/L, total testosterone, prolactin, and thyroid stimulating hormone within normal limits, ...

for drug monitoring or to evaluate endocrine function, in particular circulating (unbound) levels of lipid-soluble steroids like cortisol, aldosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, progesterone, and estradiol [18]. 2.

This effect was mediated by an increase in the p-Akt/Akt ratio. These findings, in addition to the higher prevalence of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in women after menopause, provide support for a potential therapeutic role of DHEA in post-menopausal women that have some features of...
The results were compared for the two main age groups: 25–29 and 30–34. Sexual activity tends to differ substantially by age due to poorer health, declining testosterone, and habituation among older couples (Brewis & Meyer,2005; Call et al.,1995; Ghuman,2005; Smith et al.,2011). To ...
