Evaluation of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis in Men with Metabolic Syndrome and Androgen Deficiency Depending on Age
Journal Title: Міжнародний ендокринологічний журнал - Year 2012, Vol 41, Issue 1
Abstract
In this article authors carried out the literature review on this topic. For this reason authors noted that in obese men of reproductive age it’s necessary to study the level of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis disorders for further choice of correct replacement hormone therapy. In men with age-related androgen deficiency (at secondary hypogonadism) the stimulating therapy with chorionic gonadotropin can be the choice therapy as compared with androgen replacement therapy. In men with primary hypogonadism a lot of authors recommend to use androgen replacement therapy. In men with metabolic syndrome regardless of age it’s necessary to correct dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Men with metabolic syndrome mostly have secondary hypogonadism.
