Serum concentrations of total and free testosterone were measured in 102 hemodialysis male patients and 45 healthy men. In hemodialysis patients, serum levels of total and free testosterone were significantly reduced compared to the controls (p < .001). Neither serum total nor free testosterone correlated with age in the controls. In contrast, both total and free testosterone in serum negatively correlated with age in hemodialysis patients (p < .05-.001). It would appear that testicular dysfunction becomes more severe with increasing age in hemodialysis patients.

D013739 Testosterone A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL. 17-beta-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one,17-beta-Hydroxy-8 alpha-4-Androsten-3-one,8-Isotestosterone,AndroGel,Androderm,Andropatch,Androtop,Histerone,Sterotate,Sustanon,Testim,Testoderm,Testolin,Testopel,Testosterone Sulfate,17 beta Hydroxy 4 Androsten 3 one,17 beta Hydroxy 8 alpha 4 Androsten 3 one,8 Isotestosterone
