This book addresses these topics, providing a broad overview about testosterone, from its basic features to the most recent evidence of clinical applicability. Also, specific conditions in which testosterone play a pivotal role are discussed in detail, such as hypogonadism, misuse and abuse, puberty, cardiovascular effects and testosterone therapy. Although not essential for survival, testosterone represents the essence of male biological function, being the important testicular androgen in men. Low serum testosterone levels are associated with cardiovascular morbidity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and mortality. Conversely, increased serum levels of testosterone may lead to deleterious events. In general, there is increasing evidence that serum testosterone is a major biomarker status of men's health in general. Testosterone: From Basic to Clinical Aspects is an indispensable reference for all those who seek state-of-the-art knowledge regarding this hormone, from basic issues (including pharmacology and physiology) through clinical aspects (related diseases and supplementation therapy). 000780602 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 12, 2017). 000780602 650_0 $$aTestosterone. 000780602 7001_ $$aHohl, Alexandre,$$eeditor. 000780602 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319460840 000780602 852__ $$bebk 000780602 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-46086-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000780602 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:780602$$pGLOBAL_SET 000780602 980__ $$aEBOOK 000780602 980__ $$aBIB 000780602 982__ $$aEbook 000780602 983__ $$aOnline 000780602 994__ $$a92$$bISE
