Comparison of Salivary and Serum Free Testosterone in Normal and Hypogonadal Men

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Known Androgen Deficiency

In brief

Low testosterone is a common male problem. The diagnosis of low testosterone often requires blood sampling and expensive testing. We want to know if measuring saliva testosterone can be used in place of blood sampling. Study participants will be asked to provide samples of blood and saliva for the measurement of testosterone. These results may lead to the development of a saliva test for testosterone.
