Characteristics of Secondary, Primary, and Compensated Hypogonadism in Aging Men: Evidence from the European Male Ageing Study: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism: Vol 95, No 4 - 0 views

  • Older men were more likely to have primary [relative risk ratio (RRR) = 3.04; P < 0.001] and compensated (RRR = 2.41; P < 0.001) hypogonadism. Body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or higher was associated with secondary hypogonadism (RRR = 8.74; P < 0.001)

    The prevalence of low T varies significantly between lean versus overweight men.  This suggests a significant contribution of obesity and its biologic effects as a cause of low T.  The difference is 30%.

Serum Sex Steroids in Premenopausal Women and Breast Cancer Risk Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) - 0 views

  •  
    Study finds that elevated serum Testosterone and androstenedione is associated with an increase risk of breast cancer.  This EPIC study looked at serum hormones in premenopausal women.  This study also found an association with increased breast cancer and low serum progesterone in women.  This was also found in the ORDET study.  This study did not find a link with estrogen.  These are endogenous levels.  Does this translate to exogenous? This theory of elevated androgens and breast cancer was first proposed by Grattarola.

The Evolving Role of Oestrogens and Their Receptors in the Development and Progression of Prostate Cancer - European Urology - 0 views

  •  
    This study points out, that it is not the androgens, but the high aromatase activity and resultant Estradiol production that promotes prostate disease.  Take this together with high ER alpha dominance and one has a recipe for disease.

Oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) is abundantly expressed in normal colonic mucosa, but declines in colon adenocarcinoma paralleling the tumour's dedifferentiation - European Journal of Cancer - 0 views

  •  
    ER beta expression is dominantly expressed in normal, healthy colon cells/tissue.  However, like in breast and prostate cancer, ER beta expression is lost in the dedifferentiation of colorectal transformation.

Normalization of testosterone level is associated with reduced incidence of myocardial infarction and mortality in men | European Heart Journal - 0 views

  • Normalized-TRT group had significantly fewer deaths than no-TRT
  • Mortality was also significantly lower in the non-normalized-TRT group compared with those in no-TRT group
  • the normalized-TRT group was associated with significantly increased all-cause mortality-free survival (log-rank, P < 0.05) compared with the non-normalized-TRT or no-TRT groups
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • normalized-TRT group showed lower risk of MI than non-normalized-TRT (HR: 0.82, CI 0.71–0.95, P = 0.008) and no-TRT
  • normalized-TRT group had significantly lower stroke events compared with non-normalized-TRT (HR: 0.70, CI 0.51–0.96, P = 0.028) and no-TRT
  • study of men with low TT levels and without prior MI or stroke, normalization of TT levels using TRT is associated with lower all-cause mortality, fewer MIs, and ischaemic strokes
  • retrospective study
  • the first study to demonstrate that significant benefit is observed only if the dose is adequate to normalize the TT levels
  • Patients who failed to achieve the therapeutic range after TRT did not see a reduction in MI or stroke and had significantly less benefit on mortality
  • selected patients without any previous history of MI or stroke prior to initiation of TRT to reduce bias related to CV outcomes
  • currently only half of the men on TRT had been diagnosed with hypogonadism.
  • 25% of users did not have their T concentrations tested prior to initiating therapy, and 21% of those prescribed TRT did not have their levels tested at any time during treatment.
  • men without a history of previous MI or stroke who have low TT levels, TRT might be associated with decreased risks of MI, ischaemic stroke, and all-cause mortality in long-term follow-up
  •  
    Testosterone therapy in men with low T found to reduce all cause mortality, stroke and MI.

Elderly men over 65 years of age with late-onset hypogonadism benefit as much from testosterone treatment as do younger men - 0 views

  • The benefits of restoring serum testosterone in men with LOH were not significantly different between men older than 65 years of age and younger men. There were no indications that side effects were more severe in elderly men. The effects on prostate and urinary function and hematocrit were within safe margins.
  • obesity, but also impaired general health, are the more common causes of low testosterone in aging men
  • Severe LOH is associated with substantially higher risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality,
  • ...30 more annotations...
  • advanced age, obesity, a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, and poor general health status were predictors of LOH
  • Diabetes mellitus was correlated with hypogonadism in most studies
  • coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease did not predict hypogonadism, they did correlate with the incidence of low testosterone
  • LOH can be defined by the presence of at least three sexual symptoms associated with a total testosterone level of less than 11 nmol/L (3.2 ng/mL) and a free testosterone level of less than 220 pmol/L (64 pg/mL)
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      the European Male Aging study defined low T as total < 320 ng/dl and free < 64 pg/ml.  
  • Mean weight decreased
  • Waist circumference decreased
  • Total cholesterol decreased
  • Low-density lipoprotein decreased
  • Triglycerides decreased
  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL) increased
  • ratio of total cholesterol to HDL improved
  • Prostate volume increased
  • PSA increased
  • The benefits for men older than 65 years of age were compared with those of younger men, and the improvements in body weight, metabolic factors, psychological functioning, and sexual functioning were of the same magnitude in both age groups
  • weight loss was progressive over the 6-year period, effects of testosterone on lipids and on psychological and sexual functioning reached a plateau after approximately 3 years and these effects were sustained
  • Effects of testosterone on hematopoiesis, on the prostate, and on bladder function were not more severe in older men than in younger men
  • observe a mild increase in prostate volume and serum PSA over time, which is a normal finding in aging men. Maybe somewhat surprising, postvoiding residue and the IPSS did not deteriorate with aging but showed a degree of improvement
  • the severity of the metabolic syndrome is associated with the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms
  • The symptoms of the metabolic syndrome improve upon testosterone treatment and testosterone may thus have a favorable effect on lower urinary tract symptoms
  • it seems reasonable to conclude that the risks of testosterone administration to elderly men are not disproportionately higher in elderly men than in younger men.
  • Despite evidence to the contrary, physicians still harbor a wrongful association between testosterone and the development of prostate pathology (prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia)
  • Not surprisingly, the incidence of prostate cancer was higher in older men; however, it was lower than expected in both groups
  • These observations suggest that the incidence of prostate cancer in patients receiving testosterone therapy, both in the younger and in the older group, was not greater than in the general population not receiving testosterone treatment
  • The historical fear that raising testosterone levels will result in more prostate cancer has been dispelled, particularly by the work of Abraham Morgentaler
  • Higher serum testosterone levels fail to show an increased risk of prostate cancer, and supraphysiological testosterone does not increase prostate volume or PSA in healthy men
  • This apparent paradox is explained by the "saturation model,"
  • Recent studies indicate no increased risk of prostate cancer among men with serum testosterone in the therapeutic range
  • In the present observational study, no cases of major adverse cardiovascular events occurred.
  • the benefits of testosterone therapy are fully achieved only by long-term treatment
  • To achieve maximal benefits, good patient adherence is a prerequisite
  •  
    Study finds new difference in Testosterone benefits and/or side effects between men < 65 with low T and men > 65 with low T.
