Low serum testosterone concentration in middle-aged men with type 2 diabetes.
Low concentrations of endogenous androgens have been linked with insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Men with diabetes have been reported to have lower serum testosterone concentration than non-diabetic men; however, there has never been a large study. The aim of this study was to investigate if endogenous androgen concentration is certainly lower in a relatively large number of Japanese pa...
متن کاملLow testosterone and anaemia in men with type 2 diabetes.
OBJECTIVE Anaemia is frequently found in patients with diabetes, in whom it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Low testosterone levels are also common in men with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that low testosterone levels are also associated with anaemia in men with type 2 diabetes, over the effects of chronic kidney disease. DESIGN Cross-sectional cohort study, performe...
متن کاملAssociation between serum testosterone concentration and carotid atherosclerosis in men with type 2 diabetes.
OBJECTIVE There is evidence to suggest that low concentrations of testosterone are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in men. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum testosterone concentration and carotid atherosclerosis as well as major cardiovascular risk factors in men with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Serum free and tot...
متن کاملLow Serum Testosterone Concentrations in Hospitalized Men with Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes
Our aim was to examine whether serum testosterone concentrations are in fact low in hospitalized men with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes compared with healthy men. In this study, 79 men aged 40 years or older (41 healthy men and 38 men with type 2 diabetes) were included. Total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin levels were measured. The average duration of diagnosed diabetes was ...
متن کاملLow concentrations of serum testosterone predict acute myocardial infarction in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between endogenous testosterone concentrations and the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in men and women with and without type 2 diabetes. METHODS The study comprised 1109 subjects ≥40 years of age (mean age 62 ± 12 years) participating in a baseline survey in Sweden in 1993-94. Information about smoking...
