背景：由于在餐后状态下循环中的睾酮可能受到抑制，因此建议在患者禁食的情况下进行测量。目的：在这方面，我们评估了禁食/非禁食状态对男性总睾酮(T)水平的影响。材料和方法：数据是在英国一家医院收集的，在一天中的同一时间采集了两次血清T测定，时间间隔为6个月
Background: As circulating testosterone may be suppressed in the post-prandial state, it has been recommended that measurements are carried out with the patient fasted. Objectives: In this regard, we assessed the effect of fasting/non-fasting status on total testosterone (T) levels in men. Materials and Methods: Data was collected in a single UK Hospital in men with two serum T requests taken within a 6-month period of each other and sampled at a time of day
