[Pituitary-gonadal function in male diabetic patients (author's transl)]. 1982

A Cailleba, and S Moinade, and G Gaillard, and D Boucher

Pituitary-gonadal function was studied in 50 male diabetic patients under 53 years of age. Forty-three had normal sexual activity and 7 were impotent. Plasma testosterone levels and urinary 17 ketosteroids, androsterone and dehydroepiandosterone levels were measured. LH and FSH levels before and after LHRH, and prolactin levels before and after TRH were also measured in plasma. No significant changes in pituitary-gonadal function were detected, irrespective of the patient's sexual activity. Neither the type and degree of control of diabetes nor the presence of absence of microangiopathy had any influence on the results. Basal LH and FSH levels were slightly higher in older patients. Prolactin levels after TRH were significantly higher in the later stages of the test in patients with microangiopathy.
