Reading Time: 2 minutesContact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise TALLAHASSEE, Fla. In popular culture, the phrase battle of the sexes seems to pit the male hormone (testosterone) against the female (estrogen). Now a Florida State University College of Medicine researcher has documented a way in which the two hormones work together to protect low-testosterone males from the effects of anxiety and depression. Specifically, the testosterone must first be converted into estrogen. Thats the latest discovery from the lab of biomedical sciences Professor Mohamed Kabbaj. With a six-year grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, he is investigating the ways in … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesProvided by Fred Lewsey, University of Cambridge Pre-birth exposure to high levels of the male sex hormone testosterone has already been shown to confer evolutionary advantages for men: strength of sex drive, sperm count, cardiovascular efficiency and spatial awareness, for example. Now, latest research on marathon runners using finger length as a marker for hormone exposure shows that people who experienced higher testosterone in the womb are also better at distance running a correlation particularly strong in men, although also present in women. Researchers say the finding that males with greater reproductive potential from an evolutionary standpoint are better distance … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesStory at-a-glance + Testosterone is an androgenic sex hormone produced by the testicles (and in smaller amounts in the ovaries of women), and is often associated with "manhood." Testosterone levels in men naturally decline with age beginning at age 30 and continue to do so as men advance in years. Unfortunately, widespread chemical exposure is causing this decline to occur in men as early as childhood. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as phthalates, BPA, PFOA, and metalloestrogens lurk inside your house, leaching from human products such as personal hygiene products, chemical cleansers, or contraceptive drugs. They may also end up in … Read more »

Reading Time: 4 minutesAnyone asking the question does Andro 400 work might want to first ponder a relevant question: Does higher testosterone result in lower body fat or does lower body fat result in higher testosterone?

Reading Time: 2 minutesANDROPAUSE: Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles and mens testosterone levels naturally decline as they become older. As this happens, the man may only experience a few symptoms from this lower testosterone level that they can attribute to their age. However, other individuals develop hypogonadism, a disease in which the body is unable to produce normal amounts of testosterone due to either a problem with the testicles or the pituitary gland that controls the testicles. Hypogonadism can cause all the symptoms associated with lower testosterone levels in men younger than would normally be seen. In the case … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesLow testosterone, or hypogonadism, is a legitimate health problem. Men who have it can suffer a variety of conditions, from low energy and sex drive to depression, weight gain and even bone loss. But chances are, you don't have this problem, and neither do many of the men you know. The best evidence is that only about 2 percent of the U.S. male population ages 40 to 79 are below the minimum T threshold. That hasn't prevented a wave of interest in testosterone-replacement therapy. At the top of the hierarchy, there are the prescription-only gels and injections that replace the … Read more »
