  • 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

  • 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.

  • modest statistically significant inverse associations for total and calculated free testosterone, and modest positive associations for total and calculated free estradiol with CRP concentration
  • Estradiol concentrations were also weakly positively associated with WBC count
  • SHBG was weakly inversely associated with WBC
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • An association between testosterone and WBC count was not observed
  • These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that in men higher androgen concentration is anti-inflammatory, and higher estrogen concentration is pro-inflammatory.
  • the probability of elevated CRP concentrations (≥ 3 mg/L) decreased with higher total and calculated free testosterone concentrations, while the probability increased with higher total and calculated free estradiol concentrations
  • there is ample evidence supporting the immunosuppressive effect of androgens
  • The incidence of autoimmune diseases is higher in androgen-deficient men
  • Studies have shown that the induction of hypogonadism in older men is followed by a significant increase in IL-6 concentrations (Khosla et al. 2002), a potent stimulator of inflammation, and that activation of the androgen receptor exerts a direct anti-inflammatory effect
  • It has been suggested that the mechanisms for the immunosuppressive effect of androgens could be either a direct effect on the expression of inflammatory genes (Bellido et al. 1995; Asirvatham et al. 2006), or an indirect effect through inhibition of nuclear factor-kB activation
  • Estradiol is the major biologically active estrogen, and about 80% is formed in adult men from the aromatization of testosterone primarily in the adipose tissue
  • estrogen can stimulate the transcription factor C/EBP-β, which is involved in CRP transcription
  • Most prior cross-sectional studies have observed inverse associations between androgen concentrations and inflammatory biomarkers
  • A recent study in Chinese men showed that lower concentrations of total and calculated free testosterone were associated with higher CRP concentration
  • Data from the Boston Area Community Health Survey also reported inverse associations between testosterone and CRP concentrations
  • Total testosterone was inversely associated with WBC count (Tang et al. 2007; Schneider et al. 2009; Brand et al. 2012), but calculated free testosterone was not associated with WBC
  • The first trial found a decrease in CRP, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) but no changes in IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations between the active treatment and placebo arms
  • the majority of studies in the literature have not observed statistically significant associations between estradiol and inflammatory biomarkers in men, although several of them observed point estimates in the positive direction
  • total testosterone and estradiol compete for binding to SHBG, and seem to have opposite effects on the concentration of inflammatory biomarkers
  • A small randomized controlled trial of estrogen replacement therapy in prostate cancer patients showed an increase in CRP in the active treatment group versus the comparator group
  • Obese men are known to have lower androgen concentrations compared to their normal-weight counterparts
  • The strongest suggestion of an interaction was the inverse association between androstanediol glucuronide and CRP concentrations in obese participants, while the association was positive in the non-obese
  • A recent Chinese cross-sectional study observed stronger inverse associations between total testosterone and CRP concentrations in individuals with a BMI of 27.5 kg/m2 or greater
  • our results suggest that total and calculated free testosterone are modestly inversely associated with CRP concentrations, and that total and calculated free estradiol are modestly positively associated with CRP and WBC
  •  
    Study results suggest that higher Testosterone and lower Estrogen levels provide anti-inflammatory effects in men.  The inflammatory biomarker assessed here was CRP.  Low total and calculated free Testosterone was associated with an increase in CRP.  In contrast, total and free Estrogen was associated with an increase in CRP.  Estradiol increased WBC count and SHBG was inversely related to WBC count in this study.

Role of Polymorphic Human Cytochrome P450 Enzymes in Estrone Oxidation - 0 views

  • CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 are not expressed in any significant quantity in the liver. Therefore, they would not be expected to contribute to the overall systemic metabolism of estrone. However, both enzymes have been identified in breast tissue
  • CYP1A1 displayed relatively high activity for all three hydroxylations, suggesting that it may play an important role in extrahepatic tissues where it is expressed
  • CYP1A1 was more active with regard to 2-hydroxylation and 4-hydroxylation, it also displayed one of the greatest 16α-hydroxylating activities of the CYP enzymes tested.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • CYP1B1 displayed a high affinity for estrone and preferentially catalyzed 4-hydroxylation over 2-hydroxylation
  • CYP1B1 did not seem to contribute to 16α-hydroxylation.
  • CYP1B1 was shown to preferentially catalyze 4-hydroxylation, whereas CYP1A1 was shown to preferentially catalyze 2-hydroxylation
  • Among the CYP enzymes expressed in the liver, CYP1A2 was the most active with regard to 2-hydroxylation
