established in COC users ( 2 , 4 ), many still believe that the COC-induced decrease in bioavailable testosterone may negatively affect sexual function ( 2 , 7 , 8 ). Hormone measurement in hair is a new method that allows non-invasive sampling of the

Introduction In women, small amounts of testosterone are synthesized in the ovaries ( 1 ). Next to the gonads, testosterone is also produced and secreted from the adrenal glands in both sexes. Most testosterone circulates tightly bound to sex

Introduction In postpuberal males the testes contribute to more than 95% of total testosterone (tT) in serum, where it equilibrates between protein-bound (98%) and free hormone (1–2%) fractions ( 1 ). Circulating testosterone is bound either

Introduction Testosterone in serum is primarily bound to proteins with only a minor fraction circulating as free unbound testosterone. The major high-affinity binding protein is sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) ( 1 ). Because of the short

Introduction Testosterone is the primary sex hormone and anabolic steroid in men. It is secreted primarily by the Leydig cells of the testicles and, to a much lesser extent, by the adrenal glands. Testes produce 3–10 mg of testosterone daily

Introduction Men with 47,XXY Klinefelter syndrome (KS) commonly present hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and are commonly treated with testosterone supplementation therapy ( 1 ). However, this treatment is almost entirely based on our knowledge
