Bariatric Surgery

Males

Bariatric surgery significantly influenced sex hormone levels in males. Estradiol (E2: Hedges’ g = − 0.90, 95% CI [− 1.30, − 0.50], P < .001), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA: Hedges’ g = − 0.50, [− 0.85, − 0.15], P = .005), and prolactin (PRL: Hedges’ g = − 0.30, [− 0.60, − 0.002], P = .049) exhibited significant decreases. Conversely, luteinizing hormone (LH: Hedges’ g = 0.40, [0.27, 0.35], P < .001), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH: Hedges’ g = 0.55, [0.39, 0.72], P < .001), free testosterone (FT; Hedges’ g = 0.60, [0.24, 0.95], P = .001), total...

Thread 'Stress-associated testosterone suppression: central adaptation or hypogonadism?'

Jul 19, 2026

* Severe energy deficit, sleep disruption, and uncontrollable psychogenic stress suppress hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone and luteinizing hormone pulsatility, reduce testicular androgen production, and frequently increase sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG), thereby disproportionately lowering free testosterone.


* Convergent evidence from prolonged military operations, controlled energy-deficit studies, athletic models, and competitive stress paradigms demonstrates that reduced circulating testosterone commonly reflects centrally mediated suppression of...
