InterestModerate interest

Discussions show moderate curiosity, especially about hormonal changes and fasting's implications, though some focus on peripheral topics.

EngagementModerate engagement

Comments reflect a moderate level of involvement, referencing physiological mechanisms and broader stress concepts like hormetic stress.

ImpactModerate impact

The overall discourse suggests recognition of the study's relevance, especially around hormonal regulation and fasting, indicating moderate impact.

Abstract in brief

  • Short-term fasting in healthy men leads to a significant decrease in serum testosterone and LH levels, while blood glucose drops and estradiol and FSH remain unchanged.
  • Providing glucose during fasting prevents the decline in testosterone and LH, indicating that glucose levels influence hormonal suppression.
  • Fasting diminishes Leydig cell response and alters hormonal regulation, suggesting that short-term fasting suppresses testicular function through mechanisms involving reduced hypothalamic and/or pituitary activity.

For the people struggling with reading comprehension, I never suggested fasting is bad & have IF on and off since 2010 I only pointed out that energy deficit has a suppressive effects on sex hormones which is normal and fasting is a 100% deficit https://t.co/GtKmSOntiU

This is the power of hormetic stress. You're stressing your body intentionally, break down your muscles but after resting and recovering you come back stronger, bigger, more resilient and less stressed. Without pain there is no strength. https://t.co/RzxBfOaH2c

@tigertown_21 If you lose abdominal fat your test levels will generally improve. While you are fasting, longer than one day, we aren’t talking about skipping breakfast, your t levels decline https://t.co/GtKmSOntiU

1987年の実験 10名の男性に56時間の断食をしてもらった ひと晩ぐらいなら特にホルモンの分泌は下がらなかった https://t.co/Sf1QAPIWKD 2013年の実験 6名の男性の10日の完全断食をしてもらった テストステロンは断食スタートからジワジワと下がり続け9日目で急激に減少した プチ断食は長くても24時間が
