Filter by:HIV infection is associated to premature decline of serum testosterone. However, prevalence and biochemical characterization of hypogonadism in HIV-infected men are still to be well defined. HIV-infection is strongly associated to erectile dysfunction in men, but preliminary data suggest that it is poorly associated with serum testosterone in this context.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of liraglutide and testosterone replacement therapy on features of hypogonadism and weight loss in obese men with persistent features of hypogonadism after unsuccessful lifestyle measures.
The study is designed to identify and validate new protein biomarkers in blood related to testosterone activity. Thirty healthy young males underwent pharmaceutical castration to lower testosterone levels. After three weeks the subjects received an intramuscular injection of testosterone undecanoate. Blood samples from just before pharmaceutical castration, three weeks after castration, and one week after injection of testosterone undecanoate were collected representing normal testosterone levels, low testosterone levels, and testosterone at eugonadal levels.
This is a double-blinded and placebo-controlled study of topical testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in symptomatic hypogonadal men with pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) or increased risk for CVD.
We will investigate if testosterone is preferentially given to patients at higher risk of cardiovascular events. If this is the case, then observational studies may be prone to selection bias resulting in overestimation of the cardiovascular risk associated with testosterone when compared to a healthier population not taking testosterone
The purpose of the study is to get data of prevalence of testosterone deficiency in patient with T2DM in Russian Federation
A pilot study showed that serum calcium levels and calcium homeostasis change in response to hCG stimulation test. Serum calcium level differed when comparing pretreatment values at baseline with serum levels 72 hours after hCG stimulation in men with gonadal insufficiency referred for this stimulation test. Now we want to investigate whether this change in calcium is due to renal loss or other mechanisms and how the classical regulators of calcium homeostasis respond to hCG in men with impaired gonadal function compared with men having normal gonadal function. Moreover, the observed change in serum calcium implies that hCG also changes Phosphate, PTH and calcitonin and this will be clarified with this study
This study examines the effect of 12-week strength training program with and without testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on body composition, physical function, selected biochemical markers of metabolic health, molecular parameters of training adaptation and the quality of life patients with ADAM. The investigators believe, that strength training program performed 2 times per week for 12 weeks can improve body composition (decrease fat mass and gain lean mass), muscle strength, muscle power and general quality of life in all training groups. In addition, combination TRT and strength training could help decrease fat mass, improve BMI, cardio-respiratory fitness and thus provide optimal therapy combination for hypogonadal ageing males.
Older hypogonadal obese veterans previously participated in a 6 month lifestyle change (diet-induced weight loss and exercise) study with or without testosterone replacement therapy before being followed for the following year at the clinic while receiving standard of care consisting of diet and exercise counseling (for healthy lifestyle change) and testosterone replacement therapy. This study will determine if long-term lifestyle change and testosterone replacement therapy with associated improvement in physical and metabolic health can be maintained in obese older adults.
We have in a pilot study found that serum calcium levels change in response to hCG stimulation test. We observed that serum calcium level measured at baseline and 72 hours after hCG stimulation were different in men with gonadal insufficiency referred for this stimulation test. Now we want to investigate a large cohort of men referred for hCG stimulation test due to suspected impaired gonadal function.
