Produktbeschreibung

Testosterone is my favourite hormone, a focus of my research. In the public mind it is the body's most potent chemical, making the diference between a 90-pound weakling and a he-man, between a milquetoast and a lothario. Steroid analogues, stacked by muscle builders, are supposed to cause out-of-control "'roid rages". Some people - lieve an injection of testosterone propelled Floyd Landis from also-ran to his "mirac- lous Stage 17" of the Tour de France. The hormone has become part of the language of popular cultureT . he New York Times carried the following passages in the previous 2 weeks: "I always thought downtown had a high testosterone level", referring to the high ma- to-female ratio of residents in lower Manhattan (14 April 2007). "It is the kind of gathering that, at its most primal, has testosterone fowing more freely than the on-the-house spirits", referring to a news conference prior to a boxing match (20 April 2007). "[T]hese are testosterone-fueled domains, largely defnedby bulging muscles and e- ploding guns", in a review of an action movie (20 April 2007). "[T]his flm is about [auto racing] surfaces, for young men with testosterone to burn", from a review of another action movie (14 April 2007).

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This textbook is clearly oriented toward urologists and ... it provides a clear idea about the very specific effect some drugs may have on patients. ... Undoubtedly, this book is useful for any practitioner urologist or not, who is involved in andrology and related specialities." (European Urology Today, June/July, 2009)
