Bioactive LH was measured by rat interstitial cell testosterone assay. Pulse analysis of LH secretion was performed by the PC pulsar program. Patients with hyperthecosis had significantly higher (P<0.002) bioactive LH levels (66 +/- 14 mIU/ml) than controls (29 +/- 6 mIU/ml). Immuno...

decreased when highest increase of BMI was considered.Higher free testosterone levels with body weight increased in adulthood and family history of hypertension are independent predictors of hypertension in premenopausal women, whereas fasting insulin levels may be related to family history of hypertension....
Evidence for this comes from studies in female infants with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, who develop male playing behavior [2, 3]. Due to prenatally circulating testosterone, the brain of such female infants is structurally organized as a male brain, while their body development is female [1,...
The role of increased prolactin levels under GnRH analogue treatment in advanced prostatic carcinoma The role of prolactin in the progress of prostatic carcinoma still is obscure. It is known to modulate testosterone metabolism and may have a prognostic value in determining disease progression. Prolonged...
In addition, increased testosterone and adiposity predict the risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) after menopause (14). Early onset menopause increases the risk of T2D (15) and the age-adjusted risk for T2D is increased in low-birth-weight (LBW) women (16). Yet, the combined effect of birth...
As previously shown13, male AROM+ mice have significantly higher estradiol and lower testosterone levels compared to wild type (WT) male mice. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of the aromatase activity resulted in the anticipated normalization of the hormone levels (Fig. 1A). Thus, the male...
Results: The heavier women had lower serum dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) (P<0.05 for all) compared to their leaner co-twins with no differences in serum testosterone or androstenedione levels. Serum DHEA correlated inversely with %...
Opposite Changes in Plasma Testosterone and Corticosterone Levels Following a Simulated Territorial Challenge in Male Great Tits The apparent ability of plasma testosterone (T) and corticosterone (B) levels to fluctuate rapidly in response to agonistic interactions, suggests that the...

Although, in utero, males and females are both exposed to high levels of maternal and placental estrogens and progesterone, a clear sex difference in sex hormone levels in utero is testosterone produced by males from 8–14 weeks’ gestation35. Sex hormones influence the TLR7-interferon signalling...
