After an extensive survey of previous results by the authors and others, they offer the inequalities \[ \Gamma[1+x+(1/x)]/2\leq \Gamma(1+x)\Gamma[1+(1/x)]<\Gamma[1+x+(1/x)] \] \((x>0; \) equality on the left at \(x=1\)), counter examples to the left inequality for more terms and factors, and proof of a weakened form of that generalization.
