Salivary Testosterone and a Trinucleotide (CAG) Length Polymorphism in the Androgen Rec... - 0 views

  • Testosterone correlated inversely with participant age (r = −0.39, p = 0.012) and positively with number of CAG repeats
  • transactivation potential of the AR appears to decline in graded relation to an increasing number of CAG repeats, which are distributed over a normative range of 11–37 and, in Caucasian populations, commonly average 21–22 repeats
  • When activated by androgens, ARs translocate to the cell nucleus, where they exert transcriptional control of androgen-dependent genes by binding to androgen response elements within gene regulatory sequences
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • some evidence suggests a high number of CAG repeats may be associated with cognitive aging
  • androgens (like other steroid hormones) promote or repress the expression of genes specifying an array of cellular proteins
  • diurnal variation in testosterone levels
  • salivary testosterone correlated negatively with participant age and positively with CAG length variation in the AR gene
  • CAG repeat number varied inversely with reactivity of the ventral amygdala to facial expressions of negative affect
  • higher salivary testosterone was likewise associated with a greater number of AR CAG repeats
  • relative androgen insensitivity in ARs with a larger number of CAG repeats
  • Because circulating testosterone is regulated via negative feedback through the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, diminished androgen sensitivity at higher CAG repeat lengths may reduce feedback suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH). LH would then be maintained at higher levels, in turn promoting higher testosterone production
  • Testosterone up-regulates AVP expression in the amygdala
  • Oxytocin exerts an inhibitory influence on AVP expression in the central amygdala, and the synthesis of oxytocin is mediated by estrogen and estrogen receptors
  •  
    Study used saliva to measure Testosterone levels in men.  Testosterone levels were inversely associated with age, but positively associated with CAG repeat sequences in the AR.

The kisspeptin-GnRH pathway in human reproductive health and disease - 0 views

  • Kisspeptin stimulates LH secretion in healthy men (filled squares) and women
  • This raises the possibility that diminished kisspeptin secretion is a potential mechanism for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in patients with obesity and diabetes
  • The likely pathways for down-regulation of kisspeptin signalling include negative feedback by estrogen, which is markedly elevated in obesity (Schneider et al., 1979), resistance to leptin, also seen in human obesity (Finn et al., 1998), insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia (Castellano et al., 2006, 2009), and inflammation, which is up-regulated in hypogonadal men with diabetes (Dandona et al., 2008) and is associated with decreased kisspeptin expression in rats

    Very nice, updated review of kisspeptins, hormone production and the negative/positive effects of kisspeptins.

inhibition of estradiol synthesis attenuates renal injury in male streptozotocin-induce... - 0 views

  •  
    Study finds that inhibition of aromatase activity in diabetic male rats provided renal protection. There has been debate about the effects of testosterone therapy on the renal system. However, I propose that aromatase activity and conversion to estrogen is the negative effects of Testosterone. Other than over dosing men. Though this is a rat study, this study does support the theory.

  •  
    Estradiol levels significantly negatively correlated libido and orgasm frequency in men.  Conversely, free levels of testosterone positively correlated with libido and orgasm frequency.

Does increased aromatase activity in adipose fibroblasts cause low sexual desire in pat... - 0 views

  • high oestrogen levels in men do not necessarily result in a fall in androgen levels
  • These high oestrogen levels, therefore, seem capable of decreasing sexual libido and lowering sexual activity
  •  
    Increased aromatase activity and resultant estrogen production negatively effects libido in HIV men.  I don't believe that this effect is just found in those with HIV, but can be extrapolated to all.

The Effects of Injected Testosterone Dose and Age on the Conversion of Testosterone to ... - 0 views

  •  
    Injectable testosterone shown to increase Estradiol production and negatively influence the E2:T ratio in older, obese men.  This is no surprise as age and obesity are known to increase aromatase activity.  I am really surprised that no discussion of aromatase inhibition was discussed.

  •  
    Alpha lipoic acid and vitamin C shown to protect against oxidized LDL.  When discussing the negative effects of LDL, the real risk associated with LDL is whether it is oxidized or not.  Alpha lipoic acid and Vitamin C prevent this and thus protect the vascular endothelium.

  •  
    retrospective cohort finds mild but significant relationships b/t BMI and total Testosterone, Testosterone:Estradiol and Estradiol alone.  BMI was inversely correlated with Testosterone and the T:E2 ratio; but directly correlated with E2 alone. There was also a negative correlation with sperm concentration, motility and morphology.

Decreased androgen levels and obesity in men. [Ann Med. 1996] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    As obesity increases, so Testosterone decreases.  Hypogondatrophic hypogonadism is associated is found in obesity.  This is no surprise, as aromatase activity is increased in fat resulting in elevated Estrogen, which provides negative feedback to the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.  This results in decrease LH and thus Testosterone production.
