ABSTRACT

Descreve-se o caso de um homem com síndrome metabólica caracterizada por obesidade centrípeta, resistência à insulina, hipertensão arterial e concentrações baixas de HDL-colesterol e altas de triglicérides. Associadas ao quadro, havia diminuição da libido e concentrações sanguíneas baixas de testosterona total e livre, com gonadotrofinasnormais. Observados, também, teor sérico aumentado de transaminase glutâmico pirúvica e grande aumento da ferritina, mas a investigação de hemocromatose foi negativa. O tratamento com alimentação correta, exercício físico moderado e metformina desfez o quadro da síndrome metabólica e do hipogonadismo.


A man with metabolic syndrome characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, low concentrations of HDL, high triglycerides, and high blood pressure is described. Associated to those findings, he had decreased libido and low blood concentrations of total and free testosterone, but the gonadotropin level was normal. There was also increased glutamicpyruvictransaminase and large increase in ferritin, but the investigation of hemochromatosis was negative. Treatment with proper nutrition, mild physical activity and metformin reversed the framework of metabolic syndrome and hypogonadism.
