After controlling for age, BMI, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, alcohol consumption and estradiol levels, our data showed that smokers were still more likely to be in the highest quartile of TT (adjusted OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.34-2.13, P <0.001) and FT levels (adjusted OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.00-1.61, P = 0.050).
In multivariable regression models, smokers had significantly higher TT levels in nearly all subgroups (P <0.05) as compared with nonsmokers, with the exception of the subgroup with 11.01-20 pack-years (Table 3). Only the least smoking subgroup (0.01-5 pack years) had a significantly higher level of FT than for nonsmokers
In this large-scale epidemiological study involving Chinese men, we found for the first time that smokers exhibit significantly higher levels of TT and FT when compared with age-matched nonsmokers. Our data support reports from several previous studies in other populations. Indeed, Corona et al (2005) analyzed 1,150 men in an outpatient clinic for sexual dysfunction and reported higher levels of TT in smokers, after adjusting for age and BMI.
We also wondered whether any dose-response relationship existed between the extent of tobacco exposure and the levels of SHBG, TT and FT. Interestingly, our data showed that TT and FT levels gradually decreased with increasing tobacco exposure. This is the first large-scale study to show that the quantity of tobacco exposure in smoking is negatively associated with TT and FT levels among smokers, although smokers had higher levels of TT and FT than nonsmokers.
In conclusion, our study reports that smoking is a positive and independent predictor of TT and FT levels. However, TT and FT levels appear negatively correlated with the dose of tobacco exposure among smokers. Smoking can lead to an acute increase in testosterone levels, but this can decrease with chronic exposure to tobacco by long-term smoking.
If you are underage and still developing, START SMOKING RIGHT NOW. Seriously, have you ever heard of an effeminate smoker? They are all maturitymaxxed chads with rough voices and muscular bodies, people who didnt smoke in school were all without exception soyboys. Do yourself a favor and dont repeat our mistake.
