Mp21-13 obesity Impairs Hypogonadism Compensation Leading to Age-Related Testosterone Decline

Abstract: INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: In normal physiologic conditions, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is expected to increase luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, as testosterone (T) levels tend to decline. This phenomenon could theoretically prevent the establishment of testosterone deficiency (TD), which contradicts the understanding that T levels have a steady decline during the normal aging process.
