testicular function and hypothalamic dysregulation appear to be the mechanisms explaining …

Late-onset hypogonadism is defined as a combination of low testosterone (T) levels and
typical symptoms and signs. A major area of uncertainty is whether T concentrations are …

Objective Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and androgens have been associated with
mortality in women and men, but controversy still exists. Our objective was to investigate …
