Testosterone enhances estradiol's effects on postmenopausal bone density and sexuality.
TLDR
It is concluded that in postmenopausal women, treatment with combined estradiol and testosterone implants was more effective in increasing bone mineral density in the hip and lumbar spine thanEstradiol implants alone.About:

Invited review: Aging and sarcopenia.
TL;DR: The link between sarc Openia and disability among elderly men and women highlights the need for continued research into the development of the most effective interventions to prevent or at least partially reverse sarcopenia, including the role of resistance exercise and other novel pharmacological and nutritional interventions.

Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
TL;DR: A 30-year-old woman presents with a history of no menses since she stopped taking oral contraceptives 6 months ago in order to conceive, and the prolactin level is normal, the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level is in the menopausal range.

Is There a Gender Difference in Strength of Sex Drive? Theoretical Views, Conceptual Distinctions, and a Review of Relevant Evidence
TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that men have more frequent and more intense sexual desires than women, as reflected in spontaneous thoughts about sex, frequency and variety of sexual fantasies, desired frequency of intercourse, desired number of partners, masturbation, willingness to forego sex, initiating versus refusing sex, making sacrifices for sex, and other measures.

Estimation of the Concentration of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Plasma, Without Use of the Preparative Ultracentrifuge
TL;DR: A method for estimating the cholesterol content of the serum low-density lipoprotein fraction (Sf0-20) is presented and comparison of this suggested procedure with the more direct procedure, in which the ultracentrifuge is used, yielded correlation coefficients of .94 to .99.

Body fat assessed from total body density and its estimation from skinfold thickness: measurements on 481 men and women aged from 16 to 72 years
J. V. G. A. Durnin,J. Womersley +1 more
TL;DR: Skinfold thicknesses at four sites – biceps, triceps, subscapular and supra-iliac – and total body density were measured on 209 males and 272 females aged from 16 to 72 years, finding it necessary to use the logarithm of skinfold measurements in order to achieve a linear relationship with body density.

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for total-body and regional bone-mineral and soft-tissue composition.
TL;DR: Bone mineral density (BMD) and soft-tissue composition of the total body and major subregions were measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and there were no significant differences in mean results or in precision errors between the two speeds.

Validation of tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance method to assess human body composition.
TL;DR: The validity and reliability of the tetrapolar impedance method for use in assessment of body composition in healthy humans is established, with a lower predictive error or standard error of the estimates of estimating body fatness than did a standard anthropometric technique.

Oestrogen therapy and the menopausal syndrome.
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of conjugated equine oestrogens (premarin) on psychological and symptomatic changes in menopausal women was assessed using a graphic rating scale system of assessment.
