Total Testosterone Articles

A high incidence of hypogonadism in men with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been globally reported. This study aimed to determining the frequency of hypogonadism and related risk factors among men with T2D in a single-site hospital in Saudi Arabia.

Androgen-androgen receptor (AR) signal is known as a powerful driver of prostate cancer progression. We previously reported the limitation of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at diagnosis as a prognostic biomarker of prostate cancer.

The aim of this study is to compare calculated free testosterone (cFT) and total testosterone (T) in predicting late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) in middle-aged and elderly males.

We surveyed a random sample of 608 males between the ages of 45 and 87 years from Shanghai, China.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - This cross-sectional study was conducted in the National Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Genetics (NCDEG) in Amman, Jordan to determine the prevalence of hypogonadism among diabetic and non-diabetic men in Jordan.

The impact of senior age on prostate cancer (PCa) oncological outcomes following radical prostatectomy (RP) is controversial, and further clinical factors could help stratifying risk categories in these patients.

To test the hypothesis that basal total testosterone (TT) levels are associated with International Society of Urologic Pathology (ISUP) tumor grade groups at the time of diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCA).

To evaluate preoperative total testosterone (TT) as a predictor of positive surgical margins (PSM) in prostate cancer (PCA).

During the period from November 2014 to July 2017, preoperative TT was measured in 476 PCA patients undergoing only radical prostatectomy (RP) and including all risk classes.

Currently, there is no consensus regarding the expected concentration levels of intra-prostatic sex steroids in patients with Prostate Cancer (PCa). Our objective was to assess the concentration levels of sex steroids in prostatic tissue and serum, in two cohorts of patients with localized PCa or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Limited evidence supports the use of free testosterone (FT) for diagnosing hypogonadism when sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is altered. Low total testosterone (TT) is commonly encountered in obesity where SHBG is typically decreased.

Aging is associated with a series of morphological and functional modifications that leads to reduced physiological efficiency and atrophy of various organs and systems. Tribulus terrestris induces its effect in fertility and sexual functions through the steroidal saponins, particularly the dominant saponins protodioscin.
