Abstract

In order to assess the effects of testosterone undecanoate (TU; 120 mg/d orally for 2 months) on serum lipid, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein levels in healthy elderly men, the placebo (PL) controlled study was performed on 37 elderly men, aged between 53 and 89 years. In all subjects venous blood samples were taken after an overnight (10 hours) fast and sera were stored -70 degrees C until analysis. In PL group, neither hormonal data nor lipid, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein levels showed significant changes. After TU supplementation, serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and estradiol (E2) levels decreased from 198 +/- 30.7 mg/dl to 174 +/- 41.9 mg/dl (p < 0.05), from 111 +/- 18.14 mg/dl to 87.9 +/- 29.4 mg/dl (p < 0.01), and from 86.2 +/- 16.9 pmol/l to 70.5 +/- 18 pmol/l (p < 0.01), respectively. Statistically significant differences were not observed in the serum triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and apolipoprotein (apo) A-1 and apo B levels after TU treatment. The mean ratios TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C as coronary risk factor criteria decreased significantly in the TU but not in the PL group. No obvious side effect was observed in those who took TU except ...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
