Studysummary This study found that low serum testosterone and elevated serum oestrone in men with cirrhosis are associated with worse liver disease and adverse health outcomes, suggesting oestrone as a potential ill health marker.

Preponderance of Serum and Intra-Hepatic 5α-Dihydrotestosterone in Males with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Despite Low Circulating Androgen Levels

research Preponderance of serum and intra-hepatic 5α-dihydrotestosterone in males with hepatocellular carcinoma despite low circulating androgen levels

8 citations , January 1986 in “Journal of hepatology”

This study suggests that hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic men is associated with altered sex-steroid metabolism, indicated by lower testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone levels compared to cirrhosis alone.

research Unchanged androgen-binding properties of sex hormone-binding globulin in male patients with liver cirrhosis

29 citations , January 2006 in “Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine”

This study found that male liver cirrhosis patients have higher estradiol levels and lower dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, leading to hormonal imbalances favoring estradiol, but without changing sex hormone-binding globulin's binding properties.

research Circulating androgen levels before and after oophorectomy in premenopausal and postmenopausal women

22 citations , January 2019 in “Climacteric”

This study reports that oophorectomy significantly reduces serum testosterone levels in postmenopausal women, indicating the postmenopausal ovary's continued production of testosterone.

research Metabolic Syndrome, Hepatic Steatosis and Testosterone: A Matter of Sex

7 citations , October 2024 in “Livers”

This review highlights the connection between sex hormones and metabolic dysfunction, emphasizing how conditions like male hypogonadism and female hyperandrogenism can increase the risk and severity of hepatic steatosis, which often progresses alongside metabolic syndrome and elevates mortality risks.

September 2006 in “Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS)”

This article discusses the testosterone and estradiol levels in men, examining their roles and suggesting the need for better understanding to differentiate between normal and abnormal levels related to androgen deficiency symptoms, without reporting new clinical results.
