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. ...

Guidelines recommend serum total testosterone measurement as the initial test to evaluate male hypogonadism, reserving free testosterone assessment for men with suspected sex hormone-binding globulin abnormalities or total testosterone near the lower limit of normal. We determined the performance of total te...
Testosterone (T) is an anabolic hormone crucial to the structure and function of skeletal muscle. Testosterone is partially synthesized from cholesterol, but little is known about the relationship of cholesterol intake and serum cholesterol with T levels
It could improve liver and kidney function, treat impotence and seminal, improve testosterone level (AR level) and androgen receptor gene expression, reverse the kidney-yang deficiency and prevent miscarriage9,11. In addition, TFSC involve in hippocampal-hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, by...
Total testosterone cut-off value indicating androgen-secreting tumor in premenopausal women with hirsutismGNE, M.GNE, E.ZTRK, F.European Review for Medical & Pharmacological Sciences
We present three women diagnosed with testosterone-producing tumours. Gold standard techniques were used to measure testosterone levels. All tumours originated from the ovaries. Based on the present cases and the existing literature, we suggest that androgen-producing tumours should be suspected in ...
The Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male (ADAM) questionnaire is commonly used to screen type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients for androgen deficiency symptoms, but the association of low total (TT) and free testosterone (FT) levels with divergent responses to the ADAM questionnaire remains ...
