Testosterone Replacement Therapy with Long-Acting Testosterone Undecanoate Improves Sexual Function and Quality-of-Life Parameters vs. Placebo in a Population of Men with Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: Testosterone replacement therapy with long-acting Testosterone Undecanoate significantly improved all domains of the IIEF and patient reported quality of life at 30 weeks and more significantly after 52-week open-label extension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testosterone Replacement Therapy Improves Metabolic Parameters in Hypogonadal Men with Type 2 Diabetes but Not in Men with Coexisting Depression: The BLAST Study

TL;DR: Testosterone replacement therapy significantly improved HbA1c, total cholesterol, and waist circumference in men with type 2 diabetes and therapeutic responses were related to achieving adequate serum testosterone levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

The response to testosterone undecanoate in men with type 2 diabetes is dependent on achieving threshold serum levels (the BLAST study).

TL;DR: This is the first double‐blind placebo‐controlled study conducted exclusively in a male type 2 diabetes population to assess the metabolic changes with testosterone replacement and indicates a threshold at which symptoms improve with physiological replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of fibrate treatment on liver function tests in patients with the metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: It appears that baseline and changes in lipid values post fibrate treatment were not associated with change in LFT, with the greatest benefit seen in patients with higher baseline LFT values.
Journal ArticleDOI

Significant Increase in High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol with Fibrates Is Associated with Low Pretreatment High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol: Findings from an Outpatient Clinic Setting

TL;DR: The results may explain the discrepancies observed in some randomized controlled trials whereby subgroup analysis of patients with the metabolic syndrome appeared to show benefit whereas this was absent in the total cohort, and future interventional studies using fibrates should perhaps focus on patients with low HDL-C levels.
