And rogen rise is greater in those patients who lose more weight as well as in younger , non-diabetic subjects with a greater degree of obesity .
Body weight loss is also associated with a decrease in estradiol and an increase in gonadotropins levels .
These data show that weight loss is associated with an increase in both bound and unbound testosterone levels .
The normalization of sex hormones induced by body weight loss is a possible mechanism contributing to the beneficial effects of surgery in morbid obesity
OBJECTIVE Few r and omized clinical studies have evaluated the impact of diet and physical activity on testosterone levels in obese men with conflicting results .
Conversely , studies on bariatric surgery in men generally have shown an increase in testosterone levels .
The aim of this study is to perform a systematic review and meta- analysis of available trials on the effect of body weight loss on sex hormones levels .
Male sexuality and cardiovascular risk. A cohort study in patients with erectile dysfunction.
INTRODUCTION Although penile blood flow ( PBF ) has been recommended as an additional diagnostic test in identifying erectile dysfunction ( ED ) patients at risk for latent cardiovascular disease , no study has ever assessed the possible association of PBF and the relational component of sexual function with incident major cardiovascular events ( MACE ) . AIM The aim of this study is to investigate whether severity of ED , PBF , and other factors related to a couple 's relationship predict incident MACE . METHODS A consecutive series of 1,687 patients was studied . Different clinical , biochemical , and instrumental  ( penile flow at color Doppler ultrasound )  parameters were evaluated . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Information on MACE was obtained through the City of Florence Registry Office . RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 4.3 + /- 2.6 years , 139 MACE , 15 of which were fatal , were observed . Cox regression analysis , after adjustment for age and Chronic Disease Score , showed that severe ED predicted MACE ( hazard ratio [ HR ] 1.75 ; 95 % confidence interval 1.10 - 2.78 ; P < 0.05 ) . In addition , lower PBF , evaluated both in flaccid ( before ) and dynamic ( after prostagl and in-E1 stimulation ) conditions , was associated with an increased risk of MACE ( HR = 2.67 [ 1.42 - 5.04 ] and 1.57 [ 1.01 - 2.47 ] , respectively , for flaccid [ < 13 cm/second ] and dynamic [ < 25 cm/second ] peak systolic velocity ; both P < 0.05 ) . Reported high sexual interest in the partner and low sexual interest in the patient proved to have a protective effect against MACE . CONCLUSIONS The investigation of male sexuality , and in particular PBF , and sexual desire , could provide insights not only into present cardiovascular status but also into prospect i ve risk
