Testosterone Treatment and Sexual Function in Older Men with Low Testosterone Levels: T... - 0 views

  •  
    new study finds that men >65 with low libido and Testosterone levels < 275 increase sexual function with Testosterone therapy.  Only libido was improved; no benefit to erectile function was noted--note that is likely due to depleted NO.  Given time that should improve with he increase in NO synthase and thus NO.  I have a fault with on elf the comments on this study: they point out that increased free Testosterone and estradiol levels were associated with improved sexual activity.  This lacks an understanding of the physiology.  In men with low T > 65, the majority are dealing with inflammation and excess weight; all of which increase aromatase activity and thus estradiol activity.  This does not indicate that an increase in estradiol activity is associated with improved libido in men.  How can elevated estrogen levels lead to low T and then increase levels are associated with improved libido?  This is merely a reflection of the body's dysfunctional physiology.  This observation of increased estradiol by no means shows cause and effect.  Scientists need to due a better job in vetting what they write!

    animal study finds that cocaine binge use associated with decreased eNOS expression in the penis.  This is consistent with the other very limited studies that show that cocaine decreases eNOS protein expression and thus NO.

    smoking reduces serum testosterone in rats.  The real question is what does it do to the salivary levels (tissue) and the metabolism of testosterone.

    hormones are the link between the brain and sex for men?  Yes, but a little more complex than that: interaction between the immune system (inflammation) and the endocrine system (hormones).

    arimidex, also known as anastrozole, is shown to be an effective aromatase inhibitor in men.  These case studies used arimidex to successfully stimulate testosterone production by limiting testosterone to estrogen production.  This was found to be useful in the treatment of gynecomastia.

    limited study as it is a case study of 1.  However, there was improvement with libido, erection, and orgasm in this case study of 1 with intranasal oxytocin.

    Nice study that looked at climid to restore HPA function and increase Testosterone stimulation and production.  This study also does a good job of reviewing the mechanisms of low T.  Low T is really a biomarker of poor health in men.

    A high percentage of men that fail PDE5 therapy have low T and the addition of T therapy improves the effects of PDE5 therapy.  T provides a positive impact on NO synthase which increased NO, which PDE5 therapies must have to work.

    we need to get away from expert opinion statements like this. Not that their conclusions are incorrect; but it promotes laziness among physicians.  We physicians need to take control over the data by which we practice medicine and the only way we can do that is to read it.

Treatment of Men for "Low Testosterone": A Systematic Review - 0 views

  • Of 47 studies that assessed sexual function or satisfaction, 23 studies reported beneficial effects of testosterone treatment for at least 1 measure of sexual function or satisfaction,[6, 26, 35, 37, 40, 43–60] and 24 studies did not show testosterone-associated improvements in any sexual function endpoint
  • Of 31 studies that evaluated erectile function, 15 found no improvement with testosterone therapy
  • Twelve studies included men with ED; 8 found no benefit of testosterone over placebo

  • Of 23 studies that specifically reported changes in libido, 13 found that testosterone treatment increased libido,[26, 35, 37, 45, 46, 54, 56, 60, 63, 65, 70, 77, 79] eight found no effect,
  • Eleven studies used the Aging Males’ Symptoms scale, which includes 3 questions on libido and sexual function. Five studies found no difference between testosterone and placebo on total scores,[26, 54, 57, 72, 76] and 4 studies found a benefit of testosterone
  •  
    A systemic review of Testosterone benefit in men stirs the pot.  I can't say that I agree with the majority of their conclusions.  What I do agree with them on is that the majority of men on Testosterone therapy likely don't need it and are simply using Testosterone as a drug.
