Background: In severe obesity, hypogonadism in men and androgen excess in women are frequently observed. Sex hormones play an important role in body composition, glucose and lipid metabolism. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment strategy to combat morbid obesity. However, if preoperative gonadal dysfunction impacts weight loss and metabolic improvements after surgery is not known.Methods: 49 men and 104 women were included in a retrospective...

Background: Patients being cured of craniopharyngioma (CP) often suffer from severe hypothalamic obesity due to tumor localization or therapeutic interventions, which has a major impact on increased mortality and reduced quality of life. Gastric bypass surgery (GBS) was suggested to be an effective therapeutic option for weight reduction in those patients. However, long-term changes in body weight and postsurgical complications are unknown.Methods: 5 pat...

BackgroundDespite adequate hormone replacement therapy, evidence suggests an increased mortality in patients suffering from primary adrenal insufficiency, mainly because of cardiovascular diseases. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and autoimmune adrenalitis (AI) are two entities with a different pathophysiological background and might therefore show divergent cardiovascular risk profiles.Methods9 patients...
