Testosterone physiology in resistance exercise an... [Sports Med. 2010] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  • testosterone stimulates protein synthesis
  • promotion of muscle hypertrophy by testosterone
  • intracellular androgen receptor (AR)

  • 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.

Characteristics of Secondary, Primary, and Compensated Hypogonadism in Aging Men: Evide... - 0 views

  • Circulating testosterone (T) in men declines progressively by 0.4–2% per year from the third decade onward
  • late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) (6, 7), whereas others have used various terms including andropause, male menopause, and androgen deficiency syndrome of the aging male.

      all names for Low T--interesting
  • Secondary hypogonadism is associated with obesity (and potentially reversible) independently of age
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • primary hypogonadism (probably the genuine form of LOH) is strongly associated with age
  • Compensated hypogonadism represents a distinct clinical entity that warrants continued monitoring to prevent or preempt further deterioration
  •  
    Study divides low T into primary (age), secondary (weight), and compensated hypogonadism (elevated LH with normal T)

Sex hormones affect neurotransmitters and shape the adult female brain during hormonal ... - 0 views

  • estrogen administration has been found to increase tryptophan hydroxylase
  • 5-HT2A mRNA levels in brain areas relevant for the control of mood, mental state and cognition (Sumner and Fink, 1998) and 5-HTT mRNA when administered for a longer period
  • n the other hand, estrogen treatment has also been observed to decrease mRNA related to serotonergic neurotransmission
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Furthermore, acute estrogen administration decreases 5-HTT mRNA levels (Pecins-Thompson et al., 1998) and 5-HT1A mRNA levels and binding
  • assigning the effects of estrogen on serotonin to a homogenous functional class of stimulation or inhibition seems not to be feasible
  • Progesterone has been suggested to increase serotonergic neurotransmission via the regulation of the expression of serotonin-related genes and proteins
  • menopausal women gain less benefit from antidepressant treatments compared to women during their reproductive years
  •  
    good review of the relationship of the sex hormones and neurotransmitters.
