Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism in Men with Type 2 Diabetes

Dandona, Paresh, Dhindsa, Sandeep, Chandel, Anil, Chaudhuri, Ajay·2009·Postgraduate Medicine

Abstract

It has recently been demonstrated that > or = one-third of men with type 2 diabetes mellitus have low testosterone concentrations associated with inappropriately low luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in men with type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity but not duration of diabetes, elevated glycosylated hemoglobin, or the presence of microvascular complications of diabetes. Recent data show that hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is also observed frequently in nondiabetics with the metabolic syndrome or obesity, but it is not associated with type 1 diabetes. Low testosterone concentrations in men with type 2 diabetes have also been related to a higher C-reactive protein concentrations, lower hematocrit, increased total and regional adiposity, lower bone mineral density, and erectile dysfunction. This article discusses the pathophysiology of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in men with type 2 diabetes and its signs and symptoms. Clinical trials are required to determine whether testosterone replacement therapy alleviates insulin resistance, inflammation, and symptoms related to sexual dysfunction care.

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.
