Cannabis e Hormônios Masculinos: Estudo Revela Associação
Cannabis pode elevar testosterona e outros hormônios em homens jovens, sugere estudo Adobe Stock O consumo de cannabis pode estar ligado a alterações específicas na produção de hormônios masculinos, de acordo com um estudo realizado com jovens adultos na Suíça. O trabalho identificou níveis mais elevados de testosterona, androstenediona e di-hidrotestosterona (DHT) em usuários da substância, quando comparados a não usuários. Os pesquisadores da Universidade de Genebra (UNIGE)
A study conducted in Switzerland suggests a potential link between cannabis consumption and elevated levels of certain hormones in young men. Researchers from the University of Geneva analyzed blood samples from adults aged 18-23, comparing cannabis users with non-users. The findings indicated higher concentrations of testosterone, androstenedione, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) among users. While the study identified this association, researchers caution against assuming direct causality, acknowledging the possibility of reverse causation where individuals with naturally higher testosterone might be more inclined to use cannabis. The study suggests phytocannabinoids might interfere with male endocrine function, but further research is needed to establish a definitive cause-and-effect relationship and understand long-term implications.
This research contributes to the ongoing scientific understanding of cannabis's physiological effects, particularly concerning male hormonal balance and reproductive health.
