New study highlights the role of testosterone in longevity


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on December 30th, 2017

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn the industrialized world, women live at least five years longer, on average, than men. Scientists have attributed that difference to everything from healthier habits to hardier cells. Now, a study that analyzes the longevity of eunuchs, or castrated men, suggests that testosterone may play a part in shortening mens lives. The idea that testosterone, the male sex hormone, affects life span isnt new. Neutered dogs and other animals that have had their sources of testosterone removed often live longer than their intact counterparts.

Decline in testosterone level could trigger Parkinson's disease


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on December 29th, 2017

Reading Time: < 1 minuteWashington, July 27 (ANI): A sudden decrease of testosterone, the male sex hormone, may cause Parkinson's like symptoms in male mice, a new study has found. One of the major roadblocks for discovering drugs against Parkinson's disease is the unavailability of a reliable animal model for this disease. "While scientists use different toxins and a number of complex genetic approaches to model Parkinson's disease in mice, we have found that the sudden drop in the levels of testosterone following castration is sufficient to cause persistent Parkinson's like pathology and symptoms in male mice," Dr. Kalipada Pahan, lead author of the … Read more »

VADA calls for synthetic testosterone test


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on December 29th, 2017

Reading Time: < 1 minuteBoxing News Dr. Margaret Goodman and the Voluntary AntiDoping Association (VADA) have called for professional sports leagues to immediately adopt the Carbon Isotope Ratio (CIR) test for every screen used in testing for performanceenhancing drugs.

Estrogen revs up a woman's sexual desire: study


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on December 29th, 2017

Reading Time: 2 minutesA new study on female hormones and sexual desire finds that estrogen, not testosterone, can boost libido in a woman's natural cycle, while progesterone deadens it, they say. Not coincidentally, this increase in desire works in favor of a woman's fertility. "We found two hormonal signals that had opposite effects on sexual motivation," said lead author James Roney of the University of California Santa Barbara. "Estrogen was having a positive effect, but with a two-day lag. Progesterone was having a persistent negative effect, both for current day, day before, and two days earlier." Roney and his team recruited undergraduate students … Read more »
