InterestModerate interest

The discussions show moderate curiosity about the implications, with posts expressing concern over associated issues like infertility and hormonal imbalance, indicating genuine interest.

EngagementModerate engagement

Abstract in brief

  • Obese adolescent males (aged 14-20) have significantly lower total, free, and calculated free testosterone levels compared to their lean peers, with reductions of about 40-50%.
  • The study found that obesity is linked to increased inflammation (higher CRP levels) and insulin resistance (higher HOMAIR scores), which are associated with lower testosterone levels.
  • The decrease in testosterone among obese males is not caused by increased estradiol levels, indicating other factors related to obesity impact testosterone production during puberty.

Testosteronspiegel gehalveerd bij tieners(14-20 jaar) met een te hoge BMI. De onderzoekers van de State University of New York vermoeden dat een verminderde insulinegevoeligheid hier een belangrijke rol speelt. https://t.co/JEn1PUHlpt https://t.co/NdQhxGxueu

Un estudio en la revista Clinical Endocrinology muestra que los varones de 14 a 25 años con sobrepeso, pueden llegar a tener hasta un 50% el nivel más bajo de testosterona. https://t.co/jrlYaa29C6

2013年の実験 BMIが25以上の男性は標準体重の男性にくらべて40％もテストステロン値が低い 肥満がテストステロンを下げるのは有名な話。腹回りの脂肪はテストステロンをエストロゲンに変える酵素を増やす働きがある https://t.co/Wyu3RFQGHS ボディビルダーを対象にした実験 体脂肪を絞り込みすぎると

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology obese males ages 14 to 20 have up to 50 percent less total testosterone than do normal males of the same age. Increasing their chances to be impotent and infertile as adults. https://t.co/L7ADdx13Za. https://t.co/N53nJSD3J3
