Low testosterone and high C-reactive protein concentrations predict low hematocrit in type 2 diabetes.
OBJECTIVE After the demonstration that one-third of male patients with type 2 diabetes have hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, we have shown that patients with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism also have markedly elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations. We have now hypothesized that type 2 diabetic subjects with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism may have a lower hematocrit because testosterone ...
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...
متن کاملLow Estradiol Concentrations in Men With Subnormal Testosterone Concentrations and Type 2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that the high prevalence of subnormal free testosterone concentrations, along with low or inappropriately normal gonadotropins in men with type 2 diabetes, may be the result of an increase in plasma estradiol concentrations secondary to an increase in aromatase activity in the adipose tissue that leads to the suppression of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-gonadal axi...
متن کاملHigh and low dose atorvastatin effects on high sensivity C-reactive protein in patient with acute coronary syndrome
Introduction: The effect of statins in reducing the risk of acute cardiovascular events is not only due to their effect on serum cholesterol level but also from their anti-inflammatory effects, particularly those resulting from reducing of C - reactive protein (CRP), is important. Atorvastatin dose and duration of treatment display different effects. This study compared the effects of high and ...
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...
