Spatial Ability in Androgen-Deficient Men
Abstract
Several lines of previous evidence have suggested that androgens affect cognitive abilities. In an effort to characterize this defect, we compared 19 men with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with 19 control men and with five men with acquired hypergonadotropic hypogonadism that had developed after puberty. The 19 patients with idiopathic hypogonadism had markedly impaired spatial ability in comparison to either controls or subjects with acquired hypogonadism (P less than 0.05). Moreover, the spatial ability of the patients correlated positively with their testicular volume (P less than 0.05). Androgen-replacement therapy in six of the patients did not improve their spatial ability. The impairment in spatial ability in men with the idiopathic form of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, the lack of such an impairment in men with the acquired form, and the failure to exogenous androgens to correct the deficits in the idiopathic form suggest that androgens exert a permanent organizing influence on the brain before or at puberty in boys.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
