Low Testosterone Linked to Diabetes

Low Testosterone Linked to Diabetes
BUFFALO, N.Y., Nov 30, 2004 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- One
out of three men with type 2 diabetes are at a risk of having diminished
production of testosterone, a study released Tuesday said.
"This starts a whole new story on the crucial complications of type 2
diabetes," said Dr. Paresh Dandona, senior author on the study and director
of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the University
at Buffalo and Kaleida Health, where the study was conducted.
Results of the study show the condition, known clinically as hypogonadism,
is caused not by a defect in the testes, where testosterone is produced, but
by improper functioning of the pituitary gland, which controls production of
testosterone, or of the hypothalamus, the region of the brain that controls
the pituitary.
The high prevalence of low testosterone in diabetic men is concerning,
researchers said, because in addition to lowered libido and erectile
dysfunction, the condition is associated with loss of muscle tone, increase
in abdominal fat, loss of bone density, and can affect mood and cognition.
Results of the study appear in the November issue of Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism.
