To determine the effects of Ramadan fasting on the secretion of sex hormones in single healthy males, we measured blood hormone levels of testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in 52 single male students aged 18-24 years who were fasting for > or = 12 hours during Ramadan. Four blood samples were taken from each, one 2 days before and the others on 10, 20 and 28 Ramadan. Testosterone level was lower, significantly so for the 20th and 28th of the month (P < 0.05); FSH was increased, significantly for the 20th (P < 0.05); LH did not change significantly.
为了确定斋月禁食对健康单身男性性激素分泌的影响，我们测量了52名年龄在18至24岁之间的单身男学生的血液中睾酮、黄体生成素（LH）和促卵泡激素（FSH）的激素水平，这些学生在斋月期间禁食时间≥12小时。每位学生采集了4份血样，一份在斋月前2天采集，其他几份分别在斋月第10天、第20天和第28天采集。睾酮水平较低，在本月第20天和第28天显著降低（P<0.05）；促卵泡激素水平升高，在第20天显著升高（P<0.05）；黄体生成素水平无显著变化。
