Testicular Volume in Relation to Hormonal Indices of Gonadal Function in Community-Dwelling Elderly Men
TL;DR: The moderately decreased BTV observed in elderly men, strongly associated with a decrease of the inhibin B/FSH ratio, is consistent with a reduced Sertoli cell mass, compensated by increased FSH stimulation resulting in only limited decrease of SERToli cell function.

Differential contribution of testosterone and estradiol in the determination of cholesterol and lipoprotein profile in healthy middle-aged men
TL;DR: A cross-sectional analysis of the role of endogenous testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2), as well as their respective biologically active fractions, in the determination of lipids and lipoproteins in an occupation-based cohort of 715 healthy middle-aged men suggests a differential role of T and E2 in the determined of traditional cardiovascular risk factors inhealthy middle-aging men.

Lack of influence of the androgen receptor gene CAG-repeat polymorphism on sex steroid status and bone metabolism in elderly men.
TL;DR: The aims of the study were to assess the potential contribution of the AR CAG‐repeat polymorphism in the interindividual variability of serum T and in the determination of bone metabolism in ambulatory elderly men.

TL;DR: The identification of FSH levels as a predictor of this decline appears to reflect the testicular mechanisms of aging-related changes in testosterone production, whereas associations with E(2) and ER alpha polymorphisms are suggestive of estrogen-related processes, possibly related to changes in the neuroendocrine regulation of testosterone production.
Deficient Acquisition of Bone During Maturation Underlies Idiopathic Osteoporosis in Men: Evidence From a Three-Generation Family Study
TL;DR: Findings in probands and their first‐degree relatives point toward a major contributory role of a genetically determined maturational defect in bone acquisition in the pathogenesis of idiopathic osteoporosis in men.
