Prospective study finds that gluten free diets for some may limit healthy whole grains, which may increase CVD.  This increase was 75 cases per 100 000 persons.  However, the study did find that it appears that an elimination of the whole grains likely is the culprit.  An elimination of refined processed grains and not whole grains is beneficial.  A gluten free diet is not and should not be a dietary fad.  If testing reveals gluten free nutrition is required, only then should this be pursued with the additions of certain, whole-grain foods.

weight loss in obese children with low TSH and free T3 indicates high risk or regain of weight.  The important value here is the free T3.

Metformin shown to suppress TSH secretion without change in free t4 or free t3 levels.  This again, shows the lack of reliability of the test TSH.  With the suppression of TSH indicated in this study, the free t4 and t3 should have been elevated, but were obviously not.

In this study, calculated low free Testosterone correlated better with TT than radioimmunoassay free Testosterone.

lower Free Testosterone and increased Estradiol through aromatase activity is associated with increased atherosclerosis.  This was monitored with Carotid intima-media thickness.  This study found an increase associated with low free Testosterone and increased free estradiol levels independent of other CVD variables.

Article discusses the expanding evidence of low T and Metabolic syndrome.

low T is found in 20-70% of men with HIV.  What is interesting about this article is that Total Testosterone was found to be a poor assessment of biological active Testosterone.  Free Testosterone assessed in the am was shown to be a better functional assessment in these men.  Serum is a poor choice though.  The process of equilibrium dialysis to calculate free Testosterone is filled with variables that will effect reliability.  Increases SHBG was found associated.

Declining Testosterone or low Testosterone is clearly associated with poor health in men.   Very nice review of the association between low Testosterone and metabolic dysfunction.  Low T is associated with increased metabolic syndrome, Diabetes, weight gain, insulin resistance...

This study of inner city men found low T associated with methadone use.  Narcotics are a known risk factor for low T.  The free T was calculated from serum.  This equilibrium dialysis is based on too many variables.  Look at the studies on equilibrium dialysis.  This study also found calculated free T was not associated with insulin resistance.  However, insulin resistance is a peripheral tissue dysfunction not a serum dysfunction.  So, a calculated free T (not reality) in the serum shows me nothing of the peripheral activity.  For example, inflammation has been shown to increase aromatase activity in the prostate tissue only.  The thinking in the conclusions of so many of these studies is soooo flawed.

only abstract available here, but the authors conclude that free Testosterone is no associated with low T symptoms with near normal serum TT.  Not so fast, the study did find that free Testosterone did prove significant in younger men and this is exactly when the TT and fT appear to have significant discrepencies.

Gluten-free and Casein-free diet in children with autism spectrum disorder shown to have improvement in some children

12 week study of obese  men in resistance training program finds increase in SHBG and resultant decrease in free Androgen index.  FAI is as a calculation of free Testosterone.  This is different in the studies in lean men which shows an increase in Testosterone. Here a different underlying metabolism is the result

Study finds low free Testosterone and low calculated free Testosterone was associated with sarcopenia in Japanese men.  This association was not found with Total Testosterone.
