Abstract
Low serum iron and ferritin levels with an elevated TIBC are diagnostic of iron deficiency. While a low serum ferritin is virtually diagnostic of iron deficiency, a normal serum ferritin can be seen in patients who are deficient in iron and have coexistent diseases (eg, hepatitis or anemia of chronic disorders). Men with low testosterone levels have lower hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, while men with anemia of unknown etiology. Testosterone directly regulates body iron levels through inhibition of the master regulator of iron metabolism, hepcidin. In our study we studied with 30 males. 80.0% males were observed with low iron level, 100.0% found with normal ferritin level, 66.7% with normal TIBC and finally we found 96.7% males with low serum testosterone level.

Testosterone is the essential male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid
The blood samples were collected in fluoride tubes, clot activated tubes and EDTA tubes for the estimation of serum iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), ferritin and testosterone respectively
Statistics Percentile distribution of the samples regarding different parameters such as age, iron, TIBC, ferritin and testosterone were analyzed by using SPSS
Summary
Testosterone is the essential male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In male people, testosterone assumes a key job in the improvement of male regenerative tissues, for example, testicles and prostate, just as advancing optional sexual qualities, for example, expanded muscle and bone mass, and the development of body hair.[1] testosterone is engaged with health and well-being,[2] and the avoidance of osteoporosis.[3]. Www.iiste.org deficiency.[17] It is fascinating to take note of that the hours of the most elevated testosterone levels concur with the hours of the most elevated iron interest in people Both serum testosterone and hemoglobin levels top during puberty.[18,19,20,21] This is related with a twofold to triple increment in iron prerequisite and a critical increment in the pace of dietary iron assimilation.[22, 23] testosterone levels in young men are low during childbirth arrive at pubertal levels at 1–3 months of age before declining back to pattern levels by a half year of age. Be that as it may, scarcely any investigations described the connections between serum ferritin levels and sex hormones.[46, 47]
