متن کاملBone mineral density outcomes following long-term treatment with subcutaneous testosterone pellet implants in male hypogonadism.
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a common complication of untreated male hypogonadism. Even mild hypogonadism due to suboptimal testosterone replacement may result in decreased bone mineralization and osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE To assess bone mineral density in hypogonadal men following long-term long-acting subcutaneous testosterone pellet implants as replacement therapy. PATIENTS A cross-sectional...
متن کاملAndrogen Receptor Gene CAG Repeat Polymorphism Regulates the Metabolic Effects of Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Male Postsurgical Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
Aim. To evaluate the independent role of androgen receptor (AR) gene CAG repeat polymorphism on metabolic effects of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in male postsurgical hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, a condition frequently associated with hypopituitarism and in which the TRT-related metabolic effects are combined with those deriving from concomitant administration of metabolically activ...
