Low testosterone, but not estradiol, is associated with incident falls in older men - the international MrOS study - Vandenput L, Mellstr öm D, Laughlin GA, Cawthon PM, Cauley JA, Hoffman AR, Karlsson MK, Rosengren BE, Ljunggren O, Nethander M, Eriksson AL, Lorentzon M, Leung J, Kwok T, Orwoll ES, Ohlsson C.
Fracture risk is determined by bone strength and the risk of falls. The relationship between serum sex steroids and bone strength parameters in men is well known, while the predictive value of sex steroids for falls is less studied. The aim of this study w... (Source: SafetyLit)

Landmark study defines normal ranges for testosterone levels
(The Endocrine Society) A large study of more than 9,000 men has established harmonized reference ranges for total testosterone in men that when applied to assays that have been appropriately calibrated will effectively enable clinicians to make a correct diagnosis of hypogonadism, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology& Metabolism.

Stem cell strategy for boosting testosterone levels tested in rodents
Male hypogonadism is a condition that diminishes testosterone levels in approximately 30% of older men, but currently available therapies can produce serious side effects. In a new study, researchers developed an alternative approach involving the direct conversion of adult skin cells into functional testosterone-producing cells. When transplanted into male rodents with hypogonadism, these so-called Leydig-like cells survived and restored normal testosterone levels. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

Boost Your Testosterone With PACE
If your sex drive is in low gear, there's a good chance you have low testosterone.
And that's true whether you're a man or a woman.
Now, a lot of "experts" will tell you that one of the best ways to boost testosterone is to get out and "exercise."
There may be some kernel of truth there, but the problem is "exercise" isn't all one thing.
When they say you should get at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity every week, that advice could actually be sabotaging your love life.
Does Exercise Affect Testosterone Levels?
You see, the wrong kind of exercise can actually KILL your sex drive...

Zika's Rapid Rise and the Limp Global Response Reveal Dire Global Health Challenges
With cases rising in Florida, Singapore, Vietnam and Trinidad and Tobago, the Zika virus pandemic is raising public concern in regions across the globe, including the U.S., where about 80 percent of Americans are aware of it but only 40 percent understand how it is actually transmitted. This raises a host of questions not only about the clinical and epidemiological scope of the outbreak, but also about the ability of citizens, public health authorities and politicians at all levels to adequately deal with it.
So far, the response has been slow and the challenge remains serious and unpredictable. We need to understand...

Zika infection causes reduced fertility, low testosterone in male mice
Zika targets the male reproductive system, at least in mice, say researchers. Three weeks after Zika infection, male mice had shrunken testicles, low levels of sex hormones and reduced fertility. The results suggest that Zika infection may interfere with men ’s ability to have children. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

Zika infection causes reduced fertility, low testosterone in male mice
(Washington University School of Medicine) A new study in mice suggests that Zika infection may have worrisome consequences for men that interfere with their ability to have children. The research indicates that the virus targets the male reproductive system. Three weeks after male mice were infected with Zika, their testicles had shrunk, levels of their sex hormones had dropped, and their fertility was reduced.

Men With Erectile Dysfunction At Increased Risk For Osteoporosis
This study points out a couple of interesting findings that men and their doctors should take note of -- one is that a man with ED should be considered to be at a greater risk of osteoporosis and two, that men with ED should be examined for osteoporosis by having a bone mineral density test, a simple and noninvasive method to evaluate this. In addition, a man with osteoporosis should be evaluated for ED.
Men can avoid osteoporosis by taking the following steps:
• Avoid smoking, reduce alcohol intake and increase weight bearing physical activity
• Consume at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily for men ages 19-70 ...

In Klinefelter Syndrome Patients, What are the Common Behavioral Problems?
Discussion
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a common genetic abnormaly with a prevalence of 1 in ~650 male births. It was first described in 1942 by Dr. Harry Klinefelter. It is associated with at least one extra X chromosome with the most common karyotype (~80% of patients) being 47 XXY. Other karyotypes are seen along with mosaicism. It is believed that although it is very prevalent, only about 25-33% of people with KS are identified. About 10% are identified before puberty with the rest usually identified because of hypogonadism and tall stature especially in teenage years or due to infertility in adulthood. KS is diagnosed...
