Study of the Prevalence and Associated Factors With Hypogonadism in HIV + Men

HypogonadismHIV

Testosterone deficiency is classically associated with the development of metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, erectile disorder and / or a reduced libido, a depressive syndrome and alteration of the quality of patients life. Chronicity of HIV infection leads to several disorders as fever, chronic stress, weight loss and cachexia which are the cause of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. On the other hand, abnormal secretion of cytokines, secondary to the infection may alter the Leydig cells causing a hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and disrupts steroidogenesis. Cases of testicular invasion by lymphoma or Kaposi's syndromes have also been described. The advent of antiretroviral therapy has reduced the prevalence of hypogonadism in patients infected with HIV that is currently about 20%. This prevalence remains about 20%, regardless of the antiretroviral therapy and CD4-T cell count. No study to our knowledge has so far assessed exhaustively the clinical features, biological, therapeutic and paraclinical of hypotestosteronemiae while assessing the level of total serum testosterone, SHBG and serum free testosterone, among HIV infected patients in the European population.

Gonadal Function in Young to Middle Aged HIV-infected Men

Human Immunodeficiency VirusHypogonadism2 more

HIV infection is associated to premature decline of serum testosterone. However, prevalence and biochemical characterization of hypogonadism in HIV-infected men are still to be well defined. HIV-infection is strongly associated to erectile dysfunction in men, but preliminary data suggest that it is poorly associated with serum testosterone in this context.

Registry of Hypogonadism in Men

Male HypogonadismAndrogen Deficiency1 more

The primary objective of the Registry of HYpogonadism in MEn (RHYME) is to establish and maintain a large, multi-national prospective registry of male patients who have been diagnosed with male hypogonadism (HG), also known as androgen deficiency or testosterone deficiency.

Investigation of the Genetic Causes of Kallmann Syndrome and Reproductive Disorders

Hypogonadotropic HypogonadismKallmann Syndrome5 more

The aims of this study are: 1) to identify genes that play a role in human pubertal development and reproduction, 2) to characterize the phenotypic spectrum of patients with these gene defects, and 3) to discern the mode of inheritance for disorders caused by these gene defects. We are specifically interested in genes that cause Kallmann syndrome, idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH), precocious (early) puberty, and delayed puberty. Individuals do not have to travel to Boston to participate in this study.

Association Between the Prevalence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and New Use of Testosterone

Hypogonadism

We will investigate if testosterone is preferentially given to patients at higher risk of cardiovascular events. If this is the case, then observational studies may be prone to selection bias resulting in overestimation of the cardiovascular risk associated with testosterone when compared to a healthier population not taking testosterone

Epigenetics and Metabolic Disorders in Men With the Klinefelter Syndrome

Klinefelter SyndromeHypogonadism

This study will elucidate how the parental origin of the X-chromosome influences health status as well as metabolic fate in Klinefelter patients. Epigenetics and transcriptome-research will be directly linked to the metabolic and inflammatory pattern of actual patients to improve care for them. The Klinefelter Syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders in men. The patients have one supernumerary X-chromosome, which is partly active and disturbs a normal male development. Testosterone deficiency in form of primary hypogonadism is a common feature in these men. Such a condition promotes clinically relevant metabolic patterns related to a pro-inflammatory status and diabetes mellitus type 2 (insulin resis-tance), cardiovascular disease as well as infertility. However, the variety of pathologies is pro-nounced between patients and low testosterone concentrations cannot fully explain the wide scope of pathologies in these men. Some patients become clinically obvious during puberty and adoles-cence, some in their thirties or later and all exhibit a huge variation in phenotype. Switching on and off of specific genes on the X-chromosome is differential, depending on the origin either from the maternal or paternal side. Hence, an influence on the clinical picture is hypothesised. Thus, key targets are clarification of the parental origin of the supernumerary X chromosome and elucidation of methylation and expression profile of pivotal X-chromosomal genes. These will be related to clinically relevant metabolic and inflammatory patterns as well as fertility to identify individual risks as well as treatment strategies for Klinefelter patients.

A Study to Evaluate the Potential for Interpersonal Transfer of Testosterone Following Single Dose...

Hypogonadism

The hypotheses for this study is that there is no transfer of testosterone from male (donor) subjects to female (recipient) subjects when contact is made 2 hours post application of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion® if the donor has a covered application area with a T-shirt.
