Effects of Five-Year Treatment with Testosterone Undecanoate on Metabolic and Hormonal Parameters in Ageing Men with Metabolic Syndrome

Effects of Five-Year Treatment with Testosterone Undecanoate on Metabolic and Hormonal Parameters in Ageing Men with Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic and hormonal modifications after long-term testosterone (T) treatment have never been investigated. 20 hypogonadal men (mean T = 241 ng/dL-8.3 nmol/L) with metabolic syndrome (MS, mean age 58) were treated with T-undecanoate injections every 12 weeks for 60 months. 20 matched subjects in whom T was unaccepted or contraindicated served as controls. Primary endpoints were variations fro...

Changes in Irisin, Interleukin-15 and Some Metabolic Parameters in Elderly Men with Metabolic Syndrome Following Increasingly Resistance Training

Background: The aging process is usually accompanied by a decrease in the function of the body's systems and physiological capacity, along with an increase in susceptibility to diseases, especially metabolic syndrome. This study looked at the effect of eight weeks of resistance training on levels of Irisin, IL-15, CRP, and Cholesterol in elderly men with metabolic syndrome. Methods: The statis...

Apelin and Testosterone Levels in Men with Metabolic Syndrome

Apelin is a new adipokine associated with obesity. Data about the relationship of apelin to the metabolic syndrome (MS) are still scarce. Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) is common in men with MS, but we did not find data about the levels of apelin in men with LOH. The aim of this study is to determine the levels of apelin in men with MS with or without LOH. Patients and Methods: 99 men are includ...

Association of White Blood Cell Count With Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Men and Women

Background: Despite the widespread obesity epidemic in the world, not all obese people are equally susceptible to the complications of obesity. Inflammatory factors play an important role in the complications of obesity. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association of White Blood Cell (WBC) count with metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese men and women. Methods: This cross-sectiona...
