Correlation between Testosterone and the Inflammatory Marker Soluble Interleukin-6 Receptor in Older Men
Abstract
CONTEXT: An age-associated decline in testosterone (T) levels and an increase in proinflammatory cytokines contribute to chronic diseases in older men. Whether and how these changes are related is unclear. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that T and inflammatory markers are negatively correlated in older men. DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study. SETTING: A population-based sample of older men was studied. PARTICIPANTS AND MEASURES: After excluding participants taking glucocorticoids or antibiotics or those with recent hospitalization, 467 men, aged 65 yr or older, had complete determinations of total T, bioavailable T, SHBG, albumin, IL-6, soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6r), TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and C-reactive protein. RESULTS: After adjusting for potential confounders, sIL-6r was significantly and inversely correlated with total T (r = -0.20; P < 0.001) and bioavailable T (r = -0.12; P < 0.05). T was not correlated with any other inflammatory marker. CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings suggest an inverse relationship between T and sIL-6r. Longitudinal studies are needed to establish the causality of this association.

“A variety of phenomena have been proposed to contribute to this age-related heightened inflammatory state including redox stress [46], immuno- and endocrine senescence [47, 48], DNA damage [49], epigenetic modification [50], and a distortion of gut microbial homeostasis [51] that is associated with increased levels of circulating endotoxin [42].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
