  •  
    Testosterone therapy in obese men with type II Diabetes and low T improved weight,  lipids, HgbA1c, and blood pressure.  There was more improvement with Leptin than with diet/exercise alone. What is very important is that the control group (diet, exercise, DM meds) had improvement in Testosterone levels, HgbA1c, lipids, BMI, and blood pressure; just not as strong as the treatment arm with Testosterone.

Sex steroids and cardiovascular disease - 0 views

  • T circulates bound with high affinity to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and with lower affinity to albumin, with a small fraction unbound or free
  • Levels of SHBG are higher in older men, therefore levels of free T decline more steeply than total T as men's age increases

SHBG and testosterone are associated with inflammation in obese men - 0 views

  •  
    Though, obesity is associated with increasing SHBG, inflammation (which is typically elevated in obesity) is negatively associated with SHBG.  CRP was used to evaluate inflammation in this study of obese men.  Testosterone was also negatively associated with inflammation in these men.

    low Testosterone is associated with kidney stones in men through increased Metabolic Syndrome.  Better stated, low T is associated with metabolic syndrome and this metabolic dysfunction increased the findings of kidney stones in men.

Is serum sex hormone-binding globulin a dominant risk factor for metabolic syndrome? - ... - 0 views

  •  
    Nice study of Chinese men, only abstract available, finds that serum total Testosterone and SHBG were inversely associated with metabolic syndrome in men.  SHBG association was the strongest and TT the weakest.  Free Testosterone had no association in this study.

  • In general, testosterone concentration is elevated directly following heavy resistance exercise in men
  • Findings on the testosterone response in women are equivocal with both increases and no changes observed in response to a bout of heavy resistance exercise
  • Age also significantly affects circulating testosterone concentrations.
  • Aging beyond 35-40 years is associated with a 1-3% decline per year in circulating testosterone concentration in men
  • aging results in a reduced acute testosterone response to resistance exercise in men.
  • In women, circulating testosterone concentration also gradually declines until menopause, after which a drastic reduction is found.
  • acute increases in testosterone can be induced by resistance exercise
  • testosterone is an important modulator of muscle mass in both men and women
  •  
    Resistance training to increase endogenous Testosterone production: more specific, the exercise must be high rep or as the authors call it--high volume.  To do this, the weight needs to be light.

  •  
    Obesity is significantly associated with low SHBG.  This stands in contrast to aging association with higher SHBG.  Obesity out weighed the association compared to age.  Calculated free Testosterone did not vary between obese and non-obese men.

Evidence for Geographical and Racial Variation in Serum Sex Steroid Levels in Older Men - 0 views

  • Asian men in Hong Kong and Japan, but not in the United States, had levels of total testosterone approximately 20% higher than in other groups
  •  
    Testosterone levels vary amongst men by geography.  Testosterone levels are higher, 20% higher, in Asian men living in Hong Kong and Japan versus those that live in the US.  This is very similar to some of the date around breast cancer in Asian women.  Both suggesting diet and environment as the variable.

Longitudinal Effects of Aging on Serum Total and Free Testosterone Levels in Healthy Me... - 0 views

  • NUMEROUS CROSS-SECTIONAL INVESTIGATIONS have demonstrated lower concentrations of circulating testosterone (T) and/or free T in older men
  • Two small-scale longitudinal investigations have observed decreases, with aging, in total T
  • T levels decline at a more or less constant rate, with age, in men, with no period of accelerated decline

  • aging in men is associated with decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) (18, 19), lean body and muscle mass
  • strength (22, 23) and aerobic capacity (24), as well as with increases in total and abdominal body fat, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and/or low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratios (25, 26, 27, 28), all of which also occur in nonelderly hypogonadal men
  • Most (1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), but not all (10, 11, 12), cross-sectional studies have demonstrated a decrease, with age, in total T in men

      FAI: 100 x total Testosterone nmol/L/SHBG nmol/L

      These numbers do point to an increase in ng/dl decline in Total Testosterone with increasing age (decade group)
  • total T, but not free T index, tended to decrease with greater BMI is consistent with prior studies showing that obesity is associated with decreases in both SHBG and total T, with an unchanged T-to-SHBG ratio
  • The conventional definition for T levels is statistical (values more than 2 sd below the mean), rather than functional. Such a definition does not reflect clinical realities, such as the existence of characteristic individual set points for circulating hormone levels, below which one, but not another, individual may develop metabolic changes of hormone deficiency; nor does it address the concept of reserve capacity, the possibility that persons with hormone levels 2 sd below the population mean still may have adequate hormone concentrations to meet their metabolic needs.

      good explanation of problems with just using a number to define low T
  • both T and free T index (a calculated value related to free or bioavailable T) decreased progressively at a rate that did not vary significantly with age, from the third to the ninth decades.
  • contrasts with other studies showing diminished free, as well as total, T in with increasing total (48) or abdominal (49) obesity in men.
  • Our analysis of date-adjusted T and free T index levels, by decade, showed that relatively high numbers of older men in this generally healthy population had at least one hypogonadal value (defined as below the 2.5th percentile for young men)
  • The issue of how properly to define hypogonadism, or indeed any hormone deficiency, remains problematic
  • The decrease in free T index was somewhat steeper than that of total T, owing to a trend for an increase in SHBG with age
  • LH for gonadal function
  • It would clearly be better to define the lower limit of normal for a hormone as: the blood level at which metabolic and/or clinical sequelae of hormone deficiency begin to appear, or the level below which definite benefits can be demonstrated for hormone supplementation for a significant proportion of the population
  • an effect of aging to lower both total and bioavailable circulating T levels at a relatively constant rate, independent of obesity, illness, medications, cigarette smoking, or alcohol intake
  •  
    Article highlights the problems with the definition of low T.  This article finds consistent decline in Total Testosterone and FAI with increasing age groups, with a significant portion of men > 60 meeting the required levels for "low T".  This study found a decrease in total T and FAI at a consistent rate independent of variables, such as BMI.    This study did find a decrease in SHBG and total T with obesity; in contrast to other studies.

Total testosterone may not decline with ageing in Korean men aged 40 years or older. - ... - 0 views

  • Longitudinal change of TT was approximately + 0·8% per year.
  • TT was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and glucose
  •  
    In study of 220 Korean mean, there was only a small decline in total Testosterone in men followed from 2002 to 2011.  The change amounted to 0.8% annually.  The level was 18.1 nmol to 17.8 nmol.  TT was inversely associated with BMI, waist and glucose.
