Lower testosterone, increased LH levels indicate impaired testicular function in older men

15 Sep 2023

Several factors contribute to the variation in male testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations, suggests a study. Moreover, reduced testosterone and elevated LH levels appear to be signs of an impaired testicular function after age 70 years.

A new era is dawning in diabetes treatment, and incretin therapy with GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) like Dulaglutide is emerging as a pivotal solution for breaking through the constraints of clinical inertia.

04 Sep 2023 by

In the realm of modern medicine, the term "clinical inertia" has gained significant attention for its potential to hinder effective disease management. Within the context of diabetes management, clinical inertia refers to the delay or reluctance in intensifying therapy despite clear indications for doing so, such as not achieving their target HbA1c goal.¹ Fortunately, a new era is dawning in diabetes treatment, and incretin therapy with GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) like Dulaglutide is emerging as a pivotal solution for breaking through the constraints of clinical inertia.
