Ferritin Level Is Positively Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease in Korean Men, Base... - 0 views

  • The overloading of body iron plays a role as an oxidative stressor
  • active radicals can affect lipids, proteins, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), resulting in tissue injury and dysfunction
  • Excess iron causes oxidative stress and induces inflammation, leading to renal disease progression
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Serum ferritin levels correlate with total body iron storage and systemic inflammation
  • The level of serum ferritin, an acute phase protein, is increased in an inflammatory environment
  • Previous studies have reported that elevated serum ferritin levels are associated with insulin resistance syndrome, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and metabolic syndrome as risk factors of CKD
  • elevated serum ferritin levels in hemodialysis patients predict higher mortality
  •  
    great review and study: finds that elevated ferritin levels (> 200 ng/ml in men) was associated with increased chronic kidney disease in Korean study.

Prevalence and Correlates of Late-Onset Hypogonadism Among Korean Men Aged 40 Years or ... - 0 views

  •  
    Study of Korean men finds late onset of hypogonadism to be 16.8% in their study of 1,235 men older than 40.  This is a higher rate than other studies, but lower than others (38.7% in American men).  The test definition of low T was set at 3.2 ng/ml.  Abdominal obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and increasing age were associated with low T. Low T is clearly not a problem unique to America.  It definitely appears that a decreasing Testosterone level is a marker of poor health in men.

  • Longitudinal change of TT was approximately + 0·8% per year.
  • TT was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and glucose
  •  
    In study of 220 Korean mean, there was only a small decline in total Testosterone in men followed from 2002 to 2011.  The change amounted to 0.8% annually.  The level was 18.1 nmol to 17.8 nmol.  TT was inversely associated with BMI, waist and glucose.

Large Differences in Testosterone Excretion in Korean and Swedish Men Are Strongly Asso... - 0 views

  •  
    men with UGT2B17 found to be poor metabolizers of endogenous Testosterone.  Normally, epi-Testosterone and Testosterone exist in a relative 1:1 ratio,  However, in these individuals with this SNP, they will have slightly elevated Testosterone levels due to disrupted phase II testosterone metabolism (glucuronidation).  This is found in 60% of Asian men, 50% of black men, and 1% in white men.

    This study points to an association between a low-normal TSH and cognitive decline in the elderly.  An association is not causative, but functional hypothyroidism does result in cognitive impairment, so the association would logically fit.  The results of this study do as well.

Testosterone and metabolic syndrome Cunningham GR - Asian J Androl - 0 views

  • The relationship of low testosterone to MetS often is considered to be bidirectional; however, the relationships probably are not direct
  • Many of the components of the MetS are recognized risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
  • Multiple cross-sectional studies have found low TT and low sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels in Caucasian and African-American men with the MetS, irrespective of age
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Low TT and SHBG levels also are prevalent in Chinese [7],[8] and Korean [9] men with the MetS
  • Normally 40%-50% of TT is bound to SHBG, so reducing SHBG levels will decrease TT.
  • Hyperinsulinism suppresses SHBG synthesis and secretion by the liver
  • significant increase in SHBG levels occurred after acutely lowering insulin levels in obese men
  • Estradiol levels are increased in men with the MetS, and they are positively correlated with the number of abnormal components of the MetS.
  • Although it is known that estrogen will increase SHBG levels, apparently the hyperinsulinism associated with obesity has a greater effect on SHBG levels
  • Estradiol also can inhibit luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion
  • Inflammatory cytokines are thought to have a direct effect on the pituitary to reduce LH secretion [15] and also a direct effect on Leydig cell secretion of testosterone
  • Low TT Levels have been shown to predict development of the MetS in men with normal BMI
  • Men in the lowest quartiles of serum TT, calculated free testosterone (cFT) and SHBG at baseline had the highest odds ratios for developing the MetS or DM during the 11 years follow-up
  • More recently, investigators conducting population-based studies have reported that only SHBG is associated with future development of the MetS
  • Additional evidence that low TT increases the risk of MetS comes from androgen deprivation treatment of prostate cancer
  • Low TT and low bioavailable testosterone (bT) were each significantly associated with elevated 20 years risk of CVD mortality in an older population in which cause-specific mortality was age, adiposity, and lifestyle-adjusted.
  • combination of low bT and ATP III-defined MetS is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in men aged 40 years and above
  • in elderly men, testosterone may weakly protect against CVD. Alternatively, low TT may indicate poor general health
  • Muraleedharan and Jones [27] concluded that there is convincing evidence that low T is a biomarker for disease severity and mortality.
  • The evidence that TRT improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control is conflicted
  • It is widely recognized that testosterone treatment can reduce fat mass and increase lean body mass; however, until recently most reports have not been associated with much weight loss
  • Changes in body composition and weight loss are considered potential mechanisms by which testosterone treatment improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control in patients with diabetes. Effects on inflammatory cytokines [38] and changes in oxidative metabolism [39] also have been reported to improve glucose metabolism.
  • Testosterone replacement therapy has been reported to improve some or all of the components of the MetS.
