Pulmonary hypertension associated with hemoglobinopathies: prevalent but overlooked.
Hemoglobinopathies constitute a heterogeneous group of hereditary hemoglobin disorders characterized by either reduced (thalassemias) or defective (sickle cell disease) globin chain synthesis that results in chronic hemolytic anemia. They represent the most common monogenetic disorders in humans, and although traditionally confined to specific geographic areas and populations (the Mediterranean...
متن کاملEffects of testosterone on antioxidant systems in male secondary hypogonadism.
Oxidative stress is involved both in metabolic syndrome and male infertility. Hypogonadism is also associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. To investigate the role of gonadal steroids in systemic antioxidant regulation, we determined plasma CoenzymeQ(10) (CoQ(10)) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in postsurgical hypopituitaric patients. Twenty-six patients aged 28-55 years...
متن کاملOsteoporosis in male hypogonadism: responses to androgen substitution differ among men with primary and secondary hypogonadism.
BACKGROUND No randomized study exists comparing the effects of different modes of androgen substitution on bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS We performed a prospective, randomized, trial assigning 53 hypogonadal men to the following treatment groups: mesterolone 100 mg p.o. daily, testosterone undecanoate 160 mg p.o. daily, testosterone enanthate 250 mg i.m. every 21 days, or a single subcu...
متن کاملKlinefelter syndrome: the commonest form of hypogonadism, but often overlooked or untreated.
BACKGROUND Klinefelter syndrome (KS) with the karyotype 47,XXY is one of the commonest types of congenital chromosomal disorder in males, with an incidence of 0.1% to 0.2% of newborn male infants. It causes hypogonadism and infertility. Until now, however, only about one-quarter of all persons with KS received the diagnosis during their lifetimes. METHODS Selective review of the literature. ...
متن کاملMetabolic phenotype of male obesity-related secondary hypogonadism pre-replacement and post-replacement therapy with intra-muscular testosterone undecanoate therapy
AIM To explore the metabolic phenotype of obesity-related secondary hypogonadism (SH) in men pre-replacement and post-replacement therapy with long-acting intramuscular (IM) testosterone undecanoate (TU). METHODS A prospective observational pilot study on metabolic effects of TU IM in male obesity-related SH (hypogonadal [HG] group, n = 13), including baseline comparisons with controls (eugon...
