Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia1. In recent years, androgen deficiency has captured interest of many researchers and they have associated not only with general health of men but also with certain common systemic disorders like abdominal obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus & others. So we plan to assess serum testosterone concentration in men with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional study. 150 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 50 cases without type 2 diabetes mellitus matched for confounding factors were taken as controls. Serum total testosterone level is assessed by chemiluminiscence metod. Results: Mean total testosterone in diabetics was 281.6767.31ng/dl and in controls it was 555.16126.56ng/dl and the difference was found statistically highly significant (p<0.001). Conclusions: we concluded that serum total testosterone is low in diabetic than non diabetics.
