Reading Time: 4 minutes One of the natural steroids that our bodies produce is dehydroepiandrosterone or DHEA for short! Dehydroepiandrosterone is also sold as a supplement to be used for several different health reasons. Actually, DHEA is a steroidal hormone that is essential for our health. This is because DHEA is a precursor hormone for both testosterone AND estrogen. That’s right, the male and female hormones are both derived from the same molecule. Pretty neat, right? What is DHEA? As stated above, DHEA is a precursor hormone, meaning that DHEA is converted by our bodies into other hormones, specifically testosterone and estrogen. DHEA is...

Reading Time: 3 minutes Reproductive health is an essential avenue of scientific research. Scientists have been following a troubling trend over the last thirty years—sperm counts have been getting progressively lower among younger men. There are many factors that contribute to declining sperm production—an increase in obesity is one of the more significant culprits. Environmental influences also play a major role. Researchers have been paying increasing attention to the role of chemicals which disrupt hormone production and signaling in recent years—these chemicals are known as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (or EDCs). Studies Show Sperm Counts Have Dropped Precipitously Past research makes it clear that there...

Reading Time: 10 minutes The Effects of Hypogonadism on Men Learn more about the causes and cures of this ever-increasing problem Your physician enters the room with a somber demeanor and announces “Your blood tests are back, and it's confirmed: you have hypogonadism.” The response of many men to this somewhat confusing pronouncement is often: “what's that?” The medical, professional, clinical definition of hypogonadism is the reduction or absence of hormone secretion or other physiological activity of the gonads (testes).

Reading Time: 2 minutes Upon discovering that they are about to become fathers, men often experience a drop in two hormones: testosterone and estradiol. This happens even before their babies are born, according to a new University of Michigan study. Past research has demonstrated that men's hormones change after they become fathers, and there is some evidence that this is a function of a decline after the child's birth. What is unique about the new U-M study is this: it is the first research to show that the decline may begin even earlier, during the transition to fatherhood, said Robin Edelstein, the study's lead...

Reading Time: 2 minutes PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — For women with thinning bones, Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy is a different but possibly effective option for battling osteoporosis. “The idea of growth hormone helping osteoporosis is not new,” says Dr. Michael Farrell, an internist at Allegheny General Hospital. A study from Sweden indicates that women on growth hormone replacement therapy had denser, thicker bones, and therefore had greater protection from fractures. “This study looked at fracture risk, which is what you really care about,” says Dr. Farrell. The study involved 80 women, ages 50 to 70. For 18 months, they got daily shots of either a...

Reading Time: 8 minutes Clomiphene (also known as Clomid) was first used in the 1960s for women suffering from abnormal ovulation. Later, it was approved for women who were unable to ovulate.

Women who were unable to conceive and bear children did not experience the same increase in bone mineral density. But Clomiphene Does Not Just Help Women Incredibly, clomiphene has proven to be helpful to men that are suffering from low levels of testosterone (“Low-T”). Hyperstimulation is...

Reading Time: 2 minutes Women who start hormone replacement therapy (HRT) soon after menopause do not show higher cancer incidence within 16 years, according to a Danish study published on Tuesday that fuels scientific discord over the treatment's safety. Indeed, women who took HRT in the investigation had a significantly lower risk of dying or developing heart problems, the researchers wrote in a paper published on the medical website bmj.com.

The findings also concluded that the more alcohol consumed, the poorer the quality of the man's sperm was. The results have prompted scientists to caution young men about the risks of excessive drinking. Their findings were based on 1,221 Danish men from the age of 18 to 28. The study subjects were first examined in order to determine their fitness level for joining the military, between the years of...
