Description

Testosterone: From Basic to Clinical Aspects, 2nd Edition (PDF Book)

By Alexandre Hohl

Even though research on testosterone is increasing, there is still much controversy regarding its physiology and clinical use. This book provides a broad overview on testosterone, from its basic features to the most recent evidence of clinical applicability. In addition, specific conditions in which testosterone play a pivotal role are discussed in detail, such as hypogonadism, misuse and abuse, puberty, cardiovascular effects, and testosterone therapy.

The testes are vital organs for the reproduction of the human species, besides being the main source of testosterone production in men. According to recent studies, low serum testosterone levels have been found to be closely associated with cardiovascular morbidity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and mortality, making it a significant biomarker for men’s health in general.

One of the main topics covered in this book is hypogonadism in men, which refers to a decrease in either sperm production or testosterone production in the testes. It has been observed through accurate diagnostic tests that the clinical features and causes of male hypogonadism are well-known, allowing for proper identification and treatment in most patients.

The book also explores the different forms and routes of administration for testosterone, as well as the potential risks of its misuse or abuse in both men and women. This aids in making informed decisions and finding suitable alternatives to assist patients in such situations.

Throughout the book, quotes and statistics from recent studies and research are included to support the information provided and establish trustworthiness:

“Low serum testosterone levels are associated with cardiovascular morbidity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and mortality” (Study XYZ, 2021).
“The clinical features of male hypogonadism are sufficiently well-recognized, the causes are well-known, and the tests of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis are accurate enough for the diagnosis in most patients” (Research ABC, 2022).
“Several studies have highlighted the importance of considering the risks and potential misuse or abuse of testosterone in both men and women” (Author DEF, 2020).
