Filter by:The aim of the study was to assess the effect of high intensity statin therapy on testicular and adrenal steroids and vitamin D levels in type 2 diabetes males.It is a prospective study, conducted between march 2021 and July 2022, including 60 men with type 2 diabetes, aged 40 - 65 years, statin-free, and in whom a treatment with high intensity statin was indicated. The patients had two visits, before and six months after a daily intake of 40 mg of atorvastatin. During each visit, they underwent a clinical examination including the Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male (ADAM) questionnaire and a fasting blood sample was collected for biological and hormonal measurements.
Azoospermia is defined as the complete absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate. Two-thirds of azoospermic patients have non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA); the latter comprises up to 10% of infertile men overall. NOA is an untreatable testicular disorder associated with spermatogenic failure and is the most severe male infertility phenotype. Among the available surgical sperm retrieval techniques, microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) is the procedure of choice due to its high sperm retrieval success rates (SRR), minimal tissue extraction, and low complication rates. Even with the use of micro-TESE, the likelihood of retrieving sperm in patients with NOA remain suboptimal (40% to 60%). Hypogonadism is detected in approximately half of the patients with NOA. Given the role of intratesticular testosterone (ITT) levels for spermatogenesis, some studies have explored the clinical utility of testosterone optimization by medical therapy before sperm retrieval. Moreover, some investigators have hypothesized that the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) reset might increase the expression of FSH receptors and improve Sertoli cell function. Hormonal therapy with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has been shown to improve ITT production and decrease FSH levels in patients with NOA. The investigators, therefore, designed an observational cohort study aiming to evaluate whether hormone stimulation with gonadotropins (e.g., hCG alone or combined with FSH) previous to micro-TESE increases sperm retrieval rates in hypogonadal infertile men with NOA, candidates for sperm retrieval. The investigators hypothesize that optimizing ITT production and resetting FSH levels may improve spermatogenesis and successful sperm recovery.
The purpose of this six-month treatment extension study is - to assess feasibility of a lower starting dose of SOV2012-F1 (daily dose of 400 mg [200 mg with breakfast meal and 200mg with dinner meal]) to titrate individual doses in order to further enhance drug administration. - To examine the blood pressure (BP) effects of Marius's oral testosterone undecanoate formulation, SOV2012-F1, using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM).
Testosterone is the principal androgen produced by the male testes. Hypogonadism is the result of inadequate production of testosterone by the Leydig cells of the testes and is reflected by total serum concentrations of testosterone of < 300 nanograms (ng)/deciliters (dL), with discernible diurnal pattern. The etiology of hypogonadism may be primary or secondary. The treatment of males with primary, and in some cases, secondary hypogonadism includes administration of testosterone. Testim® and Fortesta® are topical gels that when applied daily help to increase the total testosterone levels in the blood through skin absorption. Aveed® is an injectable form of testosterone treatment and participants randomized to this treatment arm will receive 3 injections over the course of 16 weeks. This study is designed to evaluate the effect on blood pressure of approved testosterone products (Testim®, Fortesta®, and Aveed®) after 16 weeks of therapy using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure to reveal shifts in blood pressure levels.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in vascular parameters and the prevalence of side effects in subjects receiving 1 cc (200mg) every 2 weeks intramuscular (IM) of Testosterone Cypionate versus subjects receiving 11mg three times daily (TID) Natesto to participant with clinical hypogonadism.
The purpose is to evaluate Sal-T against standard biomarkers of male gonadal status based on serum T, calculated free T and BAT. The optimal salivary sampling in terms of fasting and time of day will also be defined. The ultimate aim is to add Sal-T into the Trust's repertoire of tests in investigating suspected hypogonadism in men.
To describe the rate of post-collection TU to testosterone conversion, as manifested by increases in testosterone concentration, in Plain tubes held at room temperature and sodium fluoride (NaF)-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes held at room temperature or on ice prior to centrifugation
This study evaluates anastrazole and clomiphene in the improvement in hypogonadal symptoms and erectile function. Each subject will receive Anastrazole 1 mg/day, clomiphene 25 mg/day and placebo in randomized schedule of 8 week intervals.
This is an open-label, multi-center, single arm study evaluating the blood pressure (BP) changes from baseline (Visit 3) to post-treatment (Visit 5) assessed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in LPCN 1021 treated adult hypogonadal male subjects.
Aim of the study was to investigate the effects of testosterone replacement therapy on components of metabolic syndrome, vascular function and morphology, grade of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), bone mineral density (BMD) and health-related quality of life.
