Testosterone Replacement in Hypogonadal Men With Type 2 Diabetes and/or Metabolic Syndr... - 0 views

  •  
    Testosterone therapy in men with low Testosterone was found to improve insulin sensitivity, total cholesterol levels, LDL, Lpa, and sexual performance in men with low T, type II diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome.  There is suggestion that muscle composition was improved as well.

    muscle loss, sarcopenia is a significant marker of poor health in men.  This study of 845 men age 45-85 finds that low Testosterone, low vitamin D, low physical activity, smoking, and thin body build are associated with sarcopenia in men.

Relationship between Low Free Testosterone Levels and Loss of Muscle Mass : Scientific ... - 0 views

  • Our data confirm that a low FT level is a significant predictor of a risk for loss of appendicular muscle
  • Total lean mass is associated with bioavailable T in postmenopausal women
  • Further studies are needed to determine the role of androgens in preserving muscle mass in women
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Approximately 1% to 2% of T in the blood exists as FT
  • appendicular muscle loss was significantly associated with low levels of FT
  • These results suggest that a threshold level of FT exists for muscle loss, rather than a dose-response relationship
  • In the previous cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of French and American men, no dose-response relationships were reported between T and muscle mass
  • A minimal serum level of FT may be needed to preserve muscle mass in men, regardless of race/ethnicity.
  • Our result is in line with previous studies that reported a relationship between low FT and low muscle mass in men
  • T stimulates protein synthesis and inhibits protein degradation in muscle cells
  • T also increases satellite cell replication and activation in older men
  • In this study, no significant association between TT levels and muscle loss were observed
  • Although a progressive decrease in TT levels with ageing is observed in middle-aged and elderly American men16, 17, the TT levels do not change during ageing in Japanese men
  • FT levels may be a good marker for the loss of muscle mas
  •  
    study of Japanese men finds that low free Testosterone was a predictor of decrease in muscle mass.

      What a ridiculous statement!
  • Testosterone therapy increases LBM, reduces fat mass and produces sustained and significant weight loss, reduction in waist circumference and BMI

Fifty- two-Week Treatment With Diet and Exercise Plus Transdermal Testosterone Reverses... - 0 views

  • there appears to be a positive correlation between serum testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity in men across the full spectrum of glucose tolerance (Pitteloud et al, 2005), and this relationship is at least partially direct and not fully dependent on (changes in) elements of the MetS
  • supervised D&E alone led to significant improvements in testosterone concentrations, glycemic control, and components of the MetS
  • diet control, exercise, and testosterone supplementation may be beneficial in the management of men with T2D
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • androgen-deprivation therapy in males with prostatic cancer may be associated with an increased risk for T2D, which may be caused by negative effects on insulin sensitivity
  • insulin sensitivity, measured by HOMA, improved in both groups and with a significantly greater degree when testosterone was added to supervised D&E
  • Fasting insulin concentrations, a good representative of insulin sensitivity, did show a significant correlation with changes in circulating androgen levels, an observation in support of Pitteloud et al (2005), who showed a direct relationship between insulin sensitivity and circulating testosterone concentrations using the hyper-insulinemic euglycemic clamp technique
  • 52 weeks of testosterone treatment also significantly improved circulation levels of adiponectin and hsCRP, key serum markers of insulin sensitivity and hepatic steatosis
  • The changes in both adiponectin and hsCRP were significantly correlated with the therapy-induced changes in bioavailable testosterone
  • a negative correlation was found between hsCRP levels and bioavailable testosterone
  • serum PSA concentrations did not differ between the 2 treatment groups, indicating that short-term testosterone administration appears to be acceptably safe
  •  
    Study of men with metabolic syndrome and type II Diabetes finds that diet and exercise alone improved glucose control and metabolic syndrome components by 31%.  The addition of Testosterone therapy increased this % to 81%.

Associations between Circulating Reproductive Hormones and SHBG and Prevalent and Incid... - 1 views

  •  
    The best marker associated with MetS in older men was low SHBG. Low T, DHT, and cFT were found to be more biomarkers of poor health rather than causal.

Estradiol and Metabolic Syndrome in Older Italian Men: the InCHIANTI Study - 0 views

  •  
    Men with metabolic syndrome found to be associated with higher Estradiol levels.  Thus, Estradiol in "older men", >65 in this study, is associated with metabolic syndrome.

Nuclear TK1 expression is an independent prognostic factor for survival in pre-malignan... - 0 views

  • Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is a proliferation biomarker
  • Nuclear TK1 expression in early grade CIN predicts risk for progression to malignancy
  • Nuclear TK1 expression is also a prognostic factor for treatment outcome
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • TK1 LI was found to be a more reliable prognostic marker for 5-year survival than pathological stages, FIGO stages and Ki-67,
  • nuclear TK1 expression is a reliable prognostic factor in CIN patients, a group of cervical lesion patients that respond positively to treatment
  • nuclear TK1 expression is correlated with advanced stage of invasive cervical carcinomas
  • a low TK1 LI can help to identify with a better survival
  • low TK1 expression in the tumors in these patients might indicate that these tumors have a lower proliferation rate
  • TK1 is a key kinase in the one-step salvage pathway by which thymidine is introduced into DNA via the salvage pathway
  • TK1 participates in DNA synthesis and is therefore closely related to the S-phase of the cell cycle, and is correlated with proliferation
  • TK1 intensity (TK1 synthesis rate) increases from CIN grade I to CIN grade III, but does not further increase in invasive cervical carcinomas.
  • TK1 intensity seems to be a prognostic factor particularly when pre-malignant cervical lesions progress to malignancy
  •  
    TK-1 is a proliferation biomarker of DNA repair. TK-1 is a nuclear biomarker of cancer prognosis, survival, recurrence and predicts risk of progression of pre-malignant disease.

    Upregulation of TK-1 found to be an early event in breast tumor development. This has implications in precancerous tissue and elevations correlate to stage of cancer. TK-1 has also been found to correlate with Cancer recurrence.

Testosterone and metabolic syndrome: a meta-analysis study. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Men with metabolic syndrome have lower Testosterone levels when compared to "healthy" individuals.  All men with MetS should have a full androgen analysis performed.  This meta-analysis of 20 studies found Testosterone therapy reduced fasting glucose, HOMA, triglycerides, waist circumference by Testosterone in men with MetS.  This study found that Testosterone therapy increased HDL as well.

Cytokines and steroidogenesis. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Inflammatory cytokines appear to inhibit hormone production at the levels of the adrenal glands, testes, and ovaries.  This is in addition to suppression at the level of the hypothalamus and pituitary.  One proposed mechanism is via a reduction of sensitivity of the testes to LH.

    IL-1beta reduced GNRH and LH production at the level of the Hypothalamus and the Pituitary respectively. What is interesting in this animal model is that greater LH suppression at the pituitary was found to occur in those animals with prior LPS exposure--priming??
