Testosterone : an unauthorized biography / by Jordan-Young, Rebecca M.,1963-author.(CARDINAL)500478; Karkazis, Katrina Alicia,1970-author.(CARDINAL)813981;
Testosterone is a familiar villain, a ready explanation for innumerable social ills, from the stock market crash and the overrepresentation of men in prisons to male dominance in business and politics. It's a lot to pin on a simple molecule. Yet your testosterone level doesn't in fact predict your competitive drive or tendency for violence, your appetite for risk or sex, or your strength or athletic prowess. It's neither the biological essence of manliness nor even "the male sex hormone." This unauthorized biography pries T, as it's known, loose from over a century of misconceptions that undermine science even as they make urban legends about this hormone seem scientific. T's story didn't spring from nature: it is a tale that began long before the hormone was even isolated, when nineteenth-century scientists went looking for the chemical essence of masculinity. And so this molecule's outmoded, authorized life story persisted, providing ready cause for countless behaviors--from the boorish and the belligerent to the exemplary and enviable. What we think we know about T has stood in the way of an accurate understanding of its surprising and diverse functions and effects. Rebecca Jordan-Young and Katrina Karkazis focus on what T does in six domains: reproduction, aggression, risk-taking, power, sports, and parenting. At once arresting and deeply informed, Testosterone allows us to see the real T for the first time.--Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: T talk -- Multiple Ts -- Ovulation -- Violence -- Power -- Risk-taking -- Parenting -- Athleticism -- Conclusion: The social molecule.

Remedios naturales para aumentar la testosterona : c©đmo mejorar la salud sexual y la energ©Ưa masculina / by Buhner, Stephen Harrod.(CARDINAL)685519;
La identificaci©đn de la andropausia, la etapa que ocurre durante la madurez en los hombres y que es comparable a la menopausia femenina, se ve obstaculizada por la falta de una clara manifestaci©đn externa en la qu©Ưmica y fisiolog©Ưa propias de los individuos de edad avanzada. Los hombres son capaces de fecundar m©Łs all©Ł de la edad madura. Sin embargo, su deseo y potencia sexual var©Ưan, a menudo de acuerdo con su nivel de testosterona. Estudios recientes muestran que los bajos niveles de testosterona prevalentes en varones de edad avanzada--un descenso gradual que es bastante normal--se ven agravados por elementos del medio ambiente. Pero, como indican investigaciones m©♭dicas recientes, la terapia de reemplazo de testosterona con dosis bajas de la hormona no es una opci©đn adecuada porque aumenta el riesgo de problemas cardiovasculares como el infarto del miocardio o derrames cerebrales y, adem©Łs, porque el cuerpo puede hacerse dependiente de la testosterona farmac©♭utica y dejar de producirla por s©Ư mismo. En esto libro, Stephen Harrod Buhner muestra por qu©♭ los hombres necesitan ayuda para mantener los niveles de testosterona a medida en que envejecen y explica c©đmo fitoandr©đgenos naturales--plantas medicinales que contienen hormonas masculinas--pueden corregir sin riesgos la disminuci©đn de testosterona que ejerce el medio ambiente. Buhner detalla c©đmo funciona cada fitoandr©đgeno, cu©Łndo puede usarse y el m©♭todo m©Łs apropiado de empleo, de forma que proporcione a todos los hombres medios seguros, naturales y eficaces que conserven sus niveles ©đptimos de testosterona hasta bien entrada la tercera edad.
