Abstract
Testosterone [T] levels in plasma in 50 young males are found on a plateau between 07.00 h and 10.00 h. As this plateau represents the highest level throughout the day, it is necessary to take blood sample only once during this period. Therefore a statement about endocrine testicle function can be given by only 1 determination of T between 07.00 h and 10.00 h. This facilitates endocrine examination in ambulant patients.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
