Hyperandrogenism as a risk factor of coronary artery disease in young women

Sablik Z , Samborska-Sablik A , Goch JH , Kula K

The aim of the study: An attempt to assess relative roles of common risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) and sex hormones in the pathogenesis of CAD in young menstruating women (W).Materials: CAD-W group: 52 W in the age of 38–48 years with angiographically proven critical changes in coronary arteries. 38 of them suffered from myocardial infarction. H-W group: 15 healthy W in the age of 35–45 years.Methods: In al...

Sablik Z , Samborska-Sablik A , Goch JH , Kula K

Aim: To assess possible changes in concentrations (conc) of hormones in men (M) suffering from metabolic syndrome (MS) which may be involved in pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD).Materal: CAD-M group: 33 M with MS and CAD in the age 51,5±6,4 years with angiographically defined CAD. 14 of them were normoglycemic, 19 with impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus t. II. H-M group: 13 healthy M in the same age.Me...

Introduction: Longitudinal bone growth ceases by the end of puberty, and the induction of epiphyseal maturation and closure is thought to be a result in both sexes of the action of increased pubertal oestrogen concentrations. However, bone mass accrual progresses beyond puberty and we related sex steroid hormones and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels to calcaneal quantitative ultrasound index (QUI) in young adult men.Methods: Eighty men aged bet...

Objective: The role of thyroid hormones in the control of erectile functioning has been only marginally investigated. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between thyroid and erectile function in a general population sample (European Male Aging study, EMAS study) and in patients seeking medical care for sexual dysfunction (University of Florence Study, UNIFI study).Participants: Two different cohorts of subjects were evaluated. The fir...
