摘要: To determine age-related patterns of gonadotropins and their relationship to energetic status in a subsistence population we analyzed urinary FSH, LH, estrone-3-glucuronide (E-3-G) along with anthropometric measures among Turkana males northern Kenya. Subjects were 134 nomadic 109 settled ages 20 80+. LH E-3-G significantly higher the settled, compared nomadic, males. but not showed significant increase across 10 year age groups all men. increased only Controlled for age, FSH was inversely related fat free body mass These findings suggest an unusual profile estrogen metabolites that may reflect impact fluctuating food availability. More research is needed address social factors on male reproductive axis energetically stressed populations.
