Serum testosterone compared with serum zinc in man. 1977

R Hartoma

Serum zinc was measured in 154 male and 95 female blood donors. Men had higher serum zinc levels than women, the difference being statistically significant (p less than 0.001). The correlations between serum zinc and serum testosterone, serum zinc and serum FSH and serum zinc and serum LH were studied in 40 men aged 28-60 years and a statistically significant positive correlation was found only between serum zinc and serum testosterone in men of age 36-60 years (p less than 0.005). These results do not support the theory that slight zinc deficiency primarily effects pituitary gonadotropins but indicate that it would rather act on testicular level.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
