Abstract
The present study extends a recent composite model of in vivo interglandular signaling to assess the impact of age on 1) nonequilibrium exchange among diffusible and protein-bound testosterone (Te); 2) elimination of total and free Te; 3) basal and pulsatile Te secretion (sec); 4) the implicit feedforward function mediating luteinizing hormone (LH) concentration (con) drive of instantaneous Te sec; and 5) possible stochastic variability of the predicted LH con-Te sec dose-response linkage. To this end, we measured LH and Te con every 10 min for 24 h in healthy young (n = 13) and older men (n = 13). Statistical comparisons of analytic estimates revealed that elderly subjects manifest 1) reduced maximal burstlike LH-stimulated Te sec (impaired stimulus efficacy); 2) depressed half-maximally LH-stimulated Te sec (lower Leydig-cell responsivity); 3) decreased pulsatile and total Te sec; 4) elevated basal Te sec; 5) a prolonged half-life of total but not free Te con; and 6) delayed time evolution of LH and Te sec bursts. In contradistinction, age did not influence estimated LH-pulse potency (ED50), steroidogenic sensitivity (slope term), or stochastic variability of LH-Te coupling. On the basis of these data, we postulate that aging in the human male alters specific dose-response attributes linking LH con and Te sec and disrupts the time waveform of LH and Te sec bursts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
