Effect of meal fat content on salivary testosterone and cortisol levels in healthy female volunteers - 0 views

higher fat diet found to increase cortisol and Testosterone levels post meal in health women. The effect was first seen early after lunch (30 minutes).
Sexual function and hormone profile in young adult men with idiopathic gynecomastia: Comparison with healthy controls. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views
-
somewhat flawed study in that they looked at serum sex hormones to evaluate men with gynecomastia compared to controls. A better eval would have been of saliva or blood spot. Free levels will show more subtle changes physiologically than will serum as to the sex hormones. The study did find decreased sexual function in the men with gynecomastia--indicating hormone issues not picked up by the serum.

Salivary Testosterone and a Trinucleotide (CAG) Length Polymorphism in the Androgen Receptor Gene Predict Amygdala Reactivity in Men - 0 views
-
-
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

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.
Percutaneous progesterone delivery via cream or gel application in postmenopausal women: a randomized cross-over study of progesterone levels in serum, whole blood, saliva, and capillary blood. - 0 views
-
Topical hormones best evaluated via saliva and/or blood spot. Urine and particularly serum does not increase with dosing. That does not mean the topical hormone therapy is ineffective, just that serum and urine are not optimal to follow topical therapy. When looking at endogenous hormones without any therapies: serum, saliva, urine, and blood spot are equivalent.

Opinion publication recommends total Testosterone as primary means of evaluating Testosterone. This recommendation relies on the use of immunoassay techniques which can lack specificity compared to newer LC/MS and GC/MS techniques. The authors did recommend using salivary Testosterone when borderline and SHBG variables play in, which happens to be most clients I see. The best approach is to use both simultaneously to give a more clear physiologic picture to start.

Our data showed that Sal-T is a reliable marker of testosterone bioavailability. The results support the inclusion of this biomarker as a noninvasive approach in the diagnosis of male androgen deficiency.

Excessive Sugar Consumption May Be a Difficult Habit to Break: A View From the Brain and Body: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism: Vol 0, No 0 - 0 views
-
Only abstract available here, but sugar in the form of sucrose found to lower cortisol. Increased activity in the hippocampus was evident in the sucrose arm of this study. Both of these activities will lead to stress induced food addictions--particularly of sugar. Sugar is highly addictive and should be especially avoided in children. Of note, this study followed the cortisol levels through saliva.

-
Meta analysis of salivary Testosterone and cortisol finds mixed results. The results are by no means uniform, but resistance training appears to trend to an increased salivary Testosterone and salivary Testosterone to salivary cortisol ratio. Cardio trends the opposite. This fits with prior literature on the types of exercise and hormone results.
