 Monitoring of androgens is essential to define hormonal deficiencies.

History of andropause disease

Accumulation of fat leads to overweigth and obesity .

Glass and coll. from the department of medicine from the UCLA School of Medicine in California reported, in 1976, that plasmatic testosterone levels are decreased in obese men (1-2-3-4-5).

 

LOW PLASMA TESTOSTERONE IN MASSIVELY OBESE MEN

Obese group (200 to 280 % of the ideal body weight)

Control group  (85 to 135 % of the ideal body weight)

According to Glass and coll.

In 1990, Zumoff and coll. from the division of Endocrinology  and Metabolism from the Beth Israel Medical Centre in New York, reported  that free and total testosterone levels are clearly subnormal in obese men. The degree of subnormality is proportional to the degree of obesity and the authors conclude : "Hormonally speaking, the distinction between morbid obesity and lesser degrees of obesity would seem to have no validity; the decline of free, non-SHBG-bound, and total testosterone levels in obese men represents a continuum, observable at any degree of obesity" (6).

Because the decrease of testosterone secretion with age is seems logical to believe that this phenomenon is a leading cause of fat deposits everywhere in the body and that overweight is a clinical sign of andropause.
