Premature Decline of Serum Total Testosterone in HIV-Infected Men in the HAART-Era

TL;DR: Premature decline of serum T is common among young/middle-aged HIV-infected men and is associated with inappropriately low/normal LH and increased visceral fat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two Hormones for One Receptor: Evolution, Biochemistry, Actions, and Pathophysiology of LH and hCG.

TL;DR: The supposed equivalence of LH and hCG has been disproved by large data set from assisted reproduction, highlighting their sex-specific functions and thus deeming it an oversight caused by incomplete understanding of clinical data.
