Background: Decreased bone mineral density using dual energy absorptiometry (DXA) is reported in mixed cohorts of testosterone treated and testosterone naïve men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS). Bone mass and body composition in men with congenital anorchia (CA) have not been reported.Hypothesis: Men with KS and CA treated with testosterone from adolescence have normal bone mass and body composition.Methods: DXA and pQCT were p...

Objective: Insulin resistance (IR) has been reported in first-degree male relatives of patients with IC (FDMR). Retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4) has been shown to be increased in IR. We hypothesized that RBP4 would be: 1) increased in FDMR compared with controls and 2) correlated with features of IR.Methods: The study was approved by Leeds (West) Research Ethics Committee. We measured RBP4 in 162 healthy FDMR previously found to be more insulin resistant...
