Salivary testosterone changes during oral glucose tolerance tests in overweight and obese men - postprandial or circadian variation?

CONCLUSIONS: SalT decreased postprandially. A concomitant decrease in serum cortisol, prolactin and TSH reflecting diurnal variation offers an alternative explanation for the decrease in SalT independent of food consumption. Further studies are required to determine whether morning temporal changes in SalT are related to food consumption or circadian rhythm or both.PMID:38591370 | DOI:10.1177/00045632241249087
