Filter by:Men with Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (IHH) lack a hormone called gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). This hormone is important for starting puberty, maintaining testosterone levels, and fertility. The purpose of this study is to research the effects of treating IHH men with GnRH for 7 days.
This study aims to determine whether testosterone replacement improves insulin sensitivity in non-obese men with low testosterone and the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome includes three of the following five conditions, 1) an elevated blood pressure (greater than 130/85), 2) a triglyceride level greater than 150 mg/dl, 3) an HDL-cholesterol less than 40 mg/dl, 4) glucose levels greater than 100 mg/dl, and 5) a waist measurement greater than 40 inches.
The purpose of this study is to survey the total serum testosterone levels in male patients with hormone-independent malignancies. The prevalence of hypogonadism is not known, but is thought to be significant. Results will be adjusted for age and stratified for type of cancer, stage, study site,and presence of opiate use for pain management, which is known to reduce testosterone levels.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a higher-than-replacement dose of testosterone and finasteride can be combined to safely increase muscle strength in older men who have a low blood concentration of testosterone.
Cancer and its complications are common problems. In most cases, this condition has a profound impact on survival and quality of life (QoL). Fatigue, sexual dysfunction, decreased sexual drive, depression and poor appetite are commonly seen in these patients. However, these symptoms also are seen in men with other conditions including those with low testosterone levels. The objective of this study is to determine the number of male patients with cancer that have low testosterone levels and to establish the relationship between testosterone levels and the symptoms that these patients experience.
Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders in the U.S, estimated to affect 16 million Americans. Established risk factors for this disease include obesity, increased waist/hip ratio, high insulin levels in the blood, and insulin resistance. Testosterone may play a role in developing or preventing diabetes, but we do not yet know for sure. The purpose of this research study is to determine if changing testosterone levels in men will result in changes in insulin sensitivity. Information learned form this research study may have important public health implications and may point to new strategies for treating or preventing diabetes.
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of TU 750 mg and TU 1000 mg via multiple measurements of serum total testosterone.
Treatment of male hypogonadism by testosterone substitution has be monitored in terms of safety. This study relates to safety of a new long-acting preparation.
Male hypogonadism, a disorder associated with testosterone deficiency, is frequently seen in clinical practice and has significant effects on patient wellbeing. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of ARD-0403 as a testosterone replacement therapy in testosterone deficient men.
In this study we have evaluated the effects of three different doses of oral testosterone undecanoate in aging men presenting with a combination of symptoms suggestive of hypogonadism and low blood levels of the male hormone testosterone. Specifically, we have studied the effects on: - symptoms suggestive of low testosterone levels - blood testosterone and other hormone levels - bone mass - muscle mass and fat mass - muscle strength - prostate - lipids, hematocrit
