  •  
    Study finds salivary 8-OHdG is associated with increased severity of ED in men.  The study found that phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor therapy increased total and free Testosterone as well as decreased 8-OHdG.

Chronic Testosterone Replacement Exerts Cardioprotection against Cardiac Ischemia-Reper... - 0 views

  • In this study, the cardioprotective effects of testosterone in testosterone-deprived rats heart with I/R injury were demonstrated
  • Prior to I/R injury, testosterone replacement provided cardioprotective effects in testosterone-deprived rats as indicated by (1) improved cardiac functions by markedly preserved %EF and %FS, and (2) attenuated cardiac sympathovagal imbalance by a markedly decreased LF/HF ratio
  • Testosterone replacement exerts cardioprotective effects by improving left ventricular function and cardiac sympathovagal balance impaired by testosterone deprivation in ORX rats
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • During the I/R period, testosterone replacement in ORX rats exerted the beneficial effects as indicated by (1) improved left ventricular pressure; (2) markedly decreased infarct size; (3) reduced fatal cardiac arrhythmias by increased time to 1st VT/VF onset and reduced arrhythmia scores; and (4) attenuated cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction caused by I/R injury by reducing ROS production, cardiac mitochondrial swelling and mitochondria membrane depolarization.
  • Chronic testosterone replacement also ameliorates left ventricular dysfunction, and reduces the infarct size and cardiac arrhythmias impaired by I/R injury under testosterone-deprived conditions
  • The mechanisms responsible for these beneficial effects of testosterone could be due to its ability to attenuate cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte apoptosis
  •  
    animal study finds that Testosterone therapy is cardioprotective in a preventative mode and with myocardial injury.  Normalization of Testosterone in these animals with low T reduced infant injury size and improved heart function.

Roles of Testosterone Replacement in Cardiac Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Only abstract available here.  Authors of this review conclude, in a review of the current literature of Testosterone therapy and heart ischemia/reperfusion injury, that chronic, physiologic Testosterone therapy has positive cardiovascular protection whereas acute Testosterone has increased adverse events.  This is likely the difference between preventative and reactive medicine.

The association between hyperandrogenemia and the metabolic syndrome in morbidly obese ... - 0 views

  • a significant inverse relationship between HA and HDL-cholesterol levels which is in accordance with previous studies of women with PCOS
  • HA was associated with 61 % increased adjusted odds of MetS, and that this association was mainly driven by increased odds of dysglycemia and dyslipidemia
  • the prevalences of MetS, PCOS and HA were high among morbidly obese women <50 years of age
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Compared to women without HA, those with HA had significantly higher odds of having the MetS, which was mainly explained by the associations between HA and the lipid- and glucose components of the MetS
  • FTI-blood test might add value to the cardiovascular risk assessment of premenopausal women with morbid obesity
  • We calculated the free testosterone index (FTI) using the formula: FTI = 100 x serum testosterone (nmol/L) / sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG, nmol/L)
  •  
    Another study that finds hyperandrogenism in women is associated with increased Metabolic Syndrome.  This study found obesity was associated with increased hyperandrogegism and Metabolic Syndrome irregardless of PCOS diagnosis or not.

Erectile dysfunction is a prognostic indicator of comorbidities in men with late onset ... - 1 views

  •  
    Study finds that increasing severity of ED is associated with increasing components of Metabolic Syndrome in men with late onset hypogonadism.   The link is really just an increased severity of CVD in men with severe ED and low T.  ED is CVD in men.

  •  
    This study looked at oral Testosterone plus fenofibrate (tricor).  That is not the purpose of this post.  This study found that oral Testosterone decanoate reduced hsCRP and improved insulin sensitivity.  One caveat--Testosterone should not be given orally due to increased risk of hepatocellular cancer.

  •  
    Statin use associated with lower total Testosterone and "non-SHBG bound Testosterone" (i.e. free testosterone) in men.  The higher the dose, the lower the trend in Testosterone.  The study found decreased testosterone could occur as soon as 1 month.

  •  
    Correlation found between increasing MetS components and LUTS/BPH incidence.  This points to more of a inflammatory, estrogen contribution, rather than an excess Testosterone issue as MetS is associated clearly with low T in men with MetS.
