Sociodemographic, lifestyle and medical influences on serum testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin in men from UK Biobank.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Previous studies suggesting effects of metyrapone on extra-adrenal corticosteroid metabolism have involved significant alterations in plasma cortisol. We have therefore studied effects of metyrapone on urinary excretion of steroids in a group of patients treated concurrently with hydrocortisone...
