To Study the Relationship Between Serum Testosterone, HSCRP and Carotid Atherosclerosis in Men From Northwest Punjab With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

BACKGROUNDThe average life expectancy of Women is at least five years more than Men across all age groups and in most nations. Traditionally, this difference has been attributed to the protective role played by Oestrogen in Women. However, the role of Serum Testosterone has not yet been as extensively evaluated. Initially it was believed that serum testosterone has no protective role but recent studies have provided evidence contrary to that assumption.The objective is to study the relationship between Serum hsCRP, Testosterone and Carotid Atherosclerosis in Men with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
