This study revealed that males with MetS with or without diabetes had lower serum testosterone than their age matched healthy subjects. Hypogonadism was also common in subjects with MetS. Testosterone therapy to correct hypoandrogenimia improved insulin sensitivity and other biochemical parameters except High density lipoprotein cholesterol in MetS. This emphasizes that hypogonadism in all men with MetS or MetS in all men with hypogonadism needs clinical evaluation and subsequent management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
