A new study at the University of California, San Francisco, suggests vigorous exercise causes changes in some 180 prostate genes among men with early stage prostate cancer. According to researchers, are included genes known to suppress tumor growth and repair DNA, which might mean that exercise could prevent or delay progression of the disease.
The finding is […]

Researchers have revealed that too much testosterone can make people overvalue our own opinions and blind us to other people’s views, it makes people act less cooperatively and more egocentrically.
The study has shown that in fact testosterone also affects people decisions, by making them more egotistical. Most of the time, this allows people to seek […]

The growth of the prostate gland depends on circulating androgens and intracellular steroid signalling pathways. The effects of androgens are mediated through the androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear transcription factor encoded by the AR gene. The common polymorphisms, CAG and GGN repeats, in exon 1 of this gene have been implicated as possible risk factors.
Variation […]

A new study at the University of Western Australia has revealed production of sperm is more biologically taxing than previously thought, and expending energy on it has considerable health implications.
This study challenges the traditional view that sex, and sperm production, come cheaply to males. It is typically thought that females must invest heavily into reproduction, […]

Scientists have discovered a new approach for treating cancer based on manipulating the immune response to malignant tumours.
Vaccines for infectious diseases are highly effective at generating immune responses that prevent infection with bacteria or viruses. The immune system can also protect us against tumours and in theory a vaccine approach should be effective against cancer.
In […]

Experiments from the University of North Carolina suggests that zapping a male’s private parts with ultrasound could be one of the most effective and non-invasive forms of contraception.
According to the Daily Mail, the rsearch team found that rotating a three megahertz high frequency ultrasound beam around rats’ testes wiped out the germ cells that produce […]

A recent study looks at whether there is a link between colon cancer and alcohol, and if so at what level of consumption, and the importance of a family history of the disease. A total of 1,801 cases of colon cancer were diagnosed during follow-up from 1980 onwards.
The present study provides some support for an […]

Frequent ejaculations, especially in 20-something men, may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in life, and men who had five or more ejaculations weekly while in their 20s reduced their risk of getting prostate cancer later by a third.  Frequent ejaculations, up to 21 or more a month, were linked to lower prostate cancer […]

A prostate expert from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, suggests physicians advising men whether to be screened for prostate cancer with a PSA test must rely more on available evidence when recommending screening, biopsies and treatments rather than long held beliefs that PSA-based testing is beneficial for all.
He states that the current system that relies […]
