MONTREAL, MAY 10, 2012 By comparing the testosterone levels of five-month old pairs of twins, both identical and non-identical, University of Montreal researchers were able to establish that testosterone levels in infancy are not inherited genetically but rather determined by environmental factors. "Testosterone is a key hormone for the development of male reproductive organs, and it is also associated with behavioural traits, such as sexual behaviour and aggression," said lead author Dr. Richard E. Tremblay … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes ScienceDaily (Mar. 27, 2012) It's a rough life for the Tsimane, an isolated indigenous group in Bolivia. They make a living by hunting and foraging in forests, fishing in streams and clearing land by hand to grow crops. Their rugged lifestyle might imply that Tsimane men have elevated testosterone to maintain the physical activity required to survive each day. But new research shows that Tsimane ("chi-MAH-nay") men have a third less baseline testosterone compared with men living in the United States, where life is less physically demanding. And unlike men in the U.S., the Bolivian foragers-farmers do not show declines … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes Low testosterone is increasingly recognised as a complex condition linked to many bodily functions and overall health. LOW testosterone causes symptoms that can adversely affect a mans quality of life and disrupt his daily routines. Men with low testosterone also have a strong likelihood of developing the various conditions of metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Previously, we have emphasised the message that testosterone deficiency is not to be taken lightly or to be brushed off as a side effect of aging. This message is also underscored in a new book by consultant urologist Datuk … Read more »

Reading Time: 3 minutes Heres a strange one: A study on testosterone published Oct. 10 in the online journal PLOS ONE concludes that testosterone administration can increase honesty in men. The article on the study, entitled Testosterone Administration Reduces Lying In Men, was authored by Dr. Matthias Wibral and associates from University of Bonn in Germany. Testosterone, the most abundant male sex hormone, is associated with sex drive, skin health, lean muscle mass and aggression. Higher testosterone levels are associated with interpersonal and social dominance, status-seeking, physical dynamism and in extreme cases, greater violence. In the German study, the various researchers designed a simple … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minute By Victoria Hansen vhansen@abcnews4.com CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) -- Chances are you've seen the commercials. "Do you have low energy?" "Has your belly gotten bigger?" "What about your sex life? Has it all but disappeared?" Men, you probably remember these words more vividly. The advertisements promise relief. They say you may have low testosterone, the hormone that puts hair on your chest and stokes your sex drive. They say there is a cure for what ails you. Of course, the symptoms are often the common maladies of middle age. "Many men focus on the benefits of increasing testosterone levels related to … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes Low 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 dont 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 hasnt 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 »

Reading Time: 2 minutes June 17, 2013 Postmenopausal women had better improvement in verbal learning and memory after receiving treatment with testosterone gel, compared with women who received sham treatment with a placebo, a new study found. Results were presented Monday at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. "This is the first large, placebo-controlled study of the effects of testosterone on mental skills in postmenopausal women who are not on estrogen therapy," said principal investigator Susan Davis, MBBS (MD), PhD, of Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. "Our study has confirmed our similar findings from two smaller studies in postmenopausal women and suggests … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minute STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 26 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers suggest male testosterone levels may partially explain why men often have weaker responses to vaccines than women. Mark M. Davis of the Stanford University School of Medicine and an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and colleagues identified a link between certain genes affected by testosterone and antibody responses to an influenza vaccine. Previous research showed men typically experience more severe viral and other microbial infections than women, who tend to mount stronger immune responses to infections and vaccinations. In this study, Davis and colleagues analyzed the antibody responses of 53 … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes Women may drool over George Clooney and Brad Pitt, but their lust may be more for these macho guys' immune systems than their pretty faces and chiseled abs, new research suggests. Men with high levels of the sex hormone testosterone are seen as more hunky — and these same men have stronger immune responses, researchers report Tuesday (Feb. 21) in the journal Nature Communications. The findings suggest that women may be attracted to manly facial types because the macho look signals good health. Researchers led by Fhionna Moore of Abertay University in the United Kingdom recruited 74 Latvian men in … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes Washington, October 11 (ANI): Testosterone is considered the male hormone, standing for aggression and posturing, but researchers from the University of Bonn have now revealed that this sex hormone surprisingly also fosters social behaviour. In play situations, subjects who had received testosterone clearly lied less frequently than individuals who had only received a placebo, researchers around Prof. Dr. Armin Falk, an economist from the University of Bonn, found. The hormone testosterone stands for typically male attributes - it fosters the forming of the sexual characteristics, increases libido and muscle building. Women also have this sex hormone, but to a much … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minute London, Dec 9 (IANS) Testosterone shots can not only overcome low libido in men but also protect them against heart attacks, says a US study. A five-shot course of the hormone boosted male sex drive as well as their fitness levels, mood and their ability to concentrate. They also reported weight loss. The incidence of low libido dropped from 64 percent to 10 percent after treatment. The study was conducted on men with medically deficient levels of testosterone, known as hypogonadism. Experts believe the findings could be relevant to the far larger group of ageing men whose testosterone has simply … Read more »

Reading Time: 1 minute FRIDAY, May 31 (HealthDay News) -- Male athletes who choose to wear the color red in competition have higher levels of the male hormone testosterone than men who pick the color blue, a British study suggests. Men who wear red could be sending an unconscious signal about their competitiveness to their opponents, the researchers suggested in the study, which is to be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science. "The research shows that there is something special about the color red in competition, and that it is associated with our underlying biological systems," study leader Daniel Farrelly, … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes When most of us hear the word testosterone we think of puberty and men in their twenties sowing their oats. We also tend to think of bulky body builders pumped up and maxed out. However testosterone plays many more roles in the health of both men and women than many of us realize. And low levels of testosterone in both sexes may cause serious negative health consequences. Whats more is it seems that testosterone levels in both men and women are getting lower at earlier ages. In fact, its estimated that twenty-five percent of men over the age of forty-five … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes In the early 1900s, Kansas was home to one of the most financially successful doctors in American history John Brinkley who practiced in Milford. He became famous or infamous to some for procedures which involved the transfer of tissue from one species to another; specifically, transplanting goat testicles into humans as a treatment of sexual dysfunction. Brinkley was scrutinized and eventually exposed as a charlatan and stripped of his license to practice medicine; however, his work was partially responsible for inspiring serious investigators to discover testosterone. In the mid-1930s, researchers Adolf Butenandt and Leopold Ruzicka were awarded the Nobel Prize … Read more »

Dr. Gary Wittert, professor of medicine at the University of Adelaide in Adelaide in Australia, and colleagues analyzed testosterone levels in more than 1,500 men who had measurements taken at two clinic visits five years apart. Men who had abnormal values, were taking medications or had medical conditions known to affect hormones, were excluded. The men included in the analysis involved 1,382 men -- ages 35 to 80 … Read more »
