To investigate whether endurance running in men produced basal hormonal changes similar to those reported in women, we obtained blood samples from 31 men running at least 64 km each week and 18 sedentary controls for measurement of levels of total testosterone, non-sex hormone-binding globulin-bound and free testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, and cortisol. The mean levels of total and nonspecifically bound testosterone as well as prolactin were significantly lower than in controls, although levels remained within the physiological range. Other hormone levels were similar in both groups. The lowered testosterone and prolactin levels parallel the changes reported in women runners.
为了研究男性耐力跑是否会产生与女性中所报道的类似的基础激素变化，我们采集了31名每周至少跑64公里的男性以及18名久坐不动的对照者的血样，以测量总睾酮、非性激素结合球蛋白结合睾酮和游离睾酮、促黄体生成素、促卵泡生成素、催乳素及皮质醇的水平。总睾酮和非特异性结合睾酮以及催乳素的平均水平显著低于对照组，尽管这些水平仍处于生理范围内。两组的其他激素水平相似。睾酮和催乳素水平的降低与女性跑步者中所报道的变化相似。
