RE: Parathyroid and testosterone?

[Guest guest]

There is a relationship between Testosterone and the Thyroid yes.

The Thyroid can affect Testosterone production negatively.

I have an article on it somewhere..I'll try to find it.

I hope this helps

Subject: Parathyroid and testosterone?

I just recently got some tests back indicating I may have some

parathyroid issues. Is there any relationship between T and

parathyroid hormones?

I've googled a round a bit and I'm not finding much.

Thanks.

He is talking about " parathyroid " that is not the same as Thyroid. They are

four separate glands in the neck that I believe control calcium.

he *parathyroid glands* are small

endocrine<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_system>

glands <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gland> in the neck that produce

parathyroid

hormone <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_hormone>. Humans have four

parathyroid glands, which are usually located behind the thyroid

gland<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_gland>,

and, in rare cases, within the

thyroid<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid>gland or in the chest.

Parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in

the blood and within the bones.

I don't know of any correlation between parathyroid and Hypogonadism.

Thanks. This is parathyroid. Which is different from the thyroid

proper. The parathyroids are four small endocrine glands nestled into

the larger thyroid. It seems to play a huge role in calcium chemistry

as well as lot of other things.
