RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical values of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) α (triptorelin) stimulating test in the differential diagnoses of hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis (HPGA) disorders. METHODS: A total of 229 male patients with various HPGA disorders were recruited for triptorelin stimulating test. And all patients were followed up for 12 - 48 months until a definite diagnosis was made. The values of triptorelin stimulating test in the differential diagnoses of HPGA disorders were assessed by examining the close relationship between LHmax and the final clinical diagnosis. RESULTS: (1) LH levels rose steady after an intramuscular injection of triptorelin 100 µg and the time of LHmax appeared at 45 - 60 min. (2) LHmax < 4 U/L indicated the function of HPGA was not activated. LHmax in the range of 4 - 12 U/L indicated the patients might have constitutional delayed puberty development. LHmax > 12 U/L indicated the fulfilled puberty development. CONCLUSION: Triptorelin stimulating test can precisely evaluate the functions of HPGA in various HPGA disorders and provide valuable information for the differential diagnoses in constitutional delayed puberty development, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, central and peripheral precocious puberty disorders.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the values of single or repeated luteinizing hormone (LH) releasing hormone analogue (triptorelin) stimulating test in the differential diagnosis between idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) and constitutional delayed puberty (CDP). METHODS: Male patients (n = 133) without puberty onset after the age of 14 were recruited for triptorelin stimulating test and were followed up for 24 - 48 months until the diagnosis were confirmed: 86 were IHH and the other 47 were CDP. Repeated triptorelin stimulating tests were conducted in 9 IHH patients and 13 CDP patients one year after the first stimulating tests with an attempt to evaluate the dynamic change of hypothalamus-pituitary-testis axis function. The relationship between the final diagnosis and the peak LH value (LH(max)), and the changes of repeated LH(max) were investigated. RESULTS: In the single triptorelin stimulating test, LH(max) was (1.9 +/- 1.2) U/L in IHH group, which was significantly lower than that in CDP group [(13.7 +/- 8.3) U/L] (P < 0.01); 75 IHH patients (87.2%) had a LH(max) lower than 4 U/L, while only 2 CDP patients (4.3%) had a LH(max) lower than 4 U/L. When LH(max) < 4U/L was used as a criteria for the diagnosis of IHH, the single triptorelin stimulating test had a sensitivity of 87.2%, a specificity of 95.7%, and a positive predictive value of 97.4%. The repeated triptorelin stimulating tests performed one year later showed that the LH(max) in the 9 IHH patients increased from (4.7 +/- 2.5) U/L to (5.1 +/- 3.3) U/L (P = 0.78), while that in the 13 CDP patients increased from (10.7 +/- 3.3) U/L to (24.5 +/- 5.7) U/L (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: A single triptorelin stimulating test is highly effective in differentiating IHH from CDP. For some patients without definitive diagnosis, a repeated triptorelin stimulating test performed one year later may provide more valuable information on the dynamic change of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testis axis function.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the possible gene mutations in luteinizing hormone(LH) receptor gene in a boy with LH independent precocious puberty and probe the mechanism the of diseases caused by LH receptor activating mutations. METHODS: (1) Describe the clinical manifestations and laboratory data in a 5-year-old boy with LH independent precocious puberty. (2) Peripheral leukocytes were collected from the proband, his parents and other 20 normal puberty developed males. PCR and direct DNA sequence of 11 exons in LH receptors gene were conducted. RESULTS: (1) The proband was diagnosed to have LH independent precocious puberty according to the clinical symptoms and the laboratory tests. (2) A germ-line heterozygous point mutation in the 11 exon of LH receptor gene was found in the proband and his mother: c1193 T-->C leading to amino acid change with M398T, which causes consecutively an activation of the LH receptor. (3) Other nucleotide changes in the proband and other normal males include c935 A-->G (N312S) and c1065 -->C (same sense mutation). CONCLUSIONS: (1) A germ-line heterozygous point mutation in the LH receptor gene with M398T leads to consecutively activation of the LH receptor and LH independent precocious puberty. (2) The same point mutation does not have any influence on the puberty development, menstruation and productive functions of the proband's mother. (3) The LH receptor gene has possible polymorphism in the Han ethnic population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Many clinical studies suggest the inverse relationship between testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity in men, however the causative relationship of these two events is still not determined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on insulin sensitivity, body composition, serum lipid profiles and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in hypogonadotropic hypogonadal (HH) puberty undeveloped male patients. METHODS: In this prospectively designed study, we compared homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), insulin areas under the curves (AUC) of 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and other metabolic parameters between 26 HH patients and 26 healthy men. The patients' HOMA-IR, insulin AUC, body composition, lipid profiles, hsCRP and other parameters were compared before and after nine-month TRT. RESULTS: The average levels of total testosterone (TT) in HH and healthy group were (0.9 +/- 0.6) nmol/L and (18.8 +/- 3.4) nmol/L, respectively. HOMA-IR in HH group was significantly higher than the healthy group (5.14 +/- 5.16 vs 2.00 +/- 1.38, P < 0.005). Insulin AUC in 3-hour OGTT in HH group was significantly higher than the healthy group (698.6 +/- 414.7 vs 414.2 +/- 267.5, P < 0.01). Fasting glucose level in HH group was significantly higher than control group ((5.1 +/- 0.6) mmol/L vs (4.7 +/- 0.3) mmol/l, P < 0.005). Height, weight and grasp strength of the patients were significantly increased after 9-month TRT. Significant reductions in HOMA-IR (from 5.14 +/- 5.16 to 2.97 +/- 2.16, P < 0.01), insulin AUC (from 698.6 +/- 414.7 to 511.7 +/- 253.9, P < 0.01) and hsCRP (from (1.49 +/- 1.18) mg/L to (0.70 +/- 0.56) mg/L, P < 0.05) were found after TRT. Serum total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C and triglyceride were all decreased, albeit with no significant difference compared to the level prior to TRT. CONCLUSIONS: HOMA-IR, insulin AUC and fasting glucose level in HH young male patients were significantly higher than those of the control group, which suggests that low level of testosterone in male adolescents might be a risk factor for insulin resistance. TRT can significantly improve patients' insulin sensitivity and suppress serum hsCRP, which in return suggests that TRT may prevent the HH patients from developing diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in future.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of testosterone replacement therapy in patients with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (HH) on insulin sensitivity and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP). METHODS: 21 males with HH, aged 15 - 30, and 18 age, and BMI-matched healthy males underwent detection of homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR). Second, the values of weight, abdominal circumstance, grips strength, body composition, total testosterone (TT), fast blood glucose and insulin, serum lipid profile, and hsCRP were compared before and after 9-month testosterone replacement therapy in the HH patient group. RESULTS: (1) Before treatment the TT level of the HH patients WAS (0.9 +/- 0.6) nmol/L, significantly lower than that of the healthy control group (18.8 +/- 3.2) nmol/L. The fast insulin level of the HH patients was (16.0 +/- 9.8) mIU/L, significantly higher than that of the control group [(8.4 +/- 3.3) mIU/L, P = 0.018]. The HOMA-IR of the HH patient was 3.7 +/- 2.4, not significantly different from that of the control group (1.8 +/- 0.7, P = 0.021). (2) After testosterone therapy, the fast insulin level of the HH patients decreased from (16.0 +/- 9.8) mIU/L to (12.1 +/- 7.4) mIU/L (P = 0.03); the HOMA-IR decreased from (3.7 +/- 2.4) to (2.7 +/- 1.7) (P = 0.045); and the total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c, and Triglyceride all decreased, but not significantly (all P > 0.05). The hsCRP decreased from (1.49 +/- 1.18) mg/L to (0.70 +/- 0.56) mg/L (P = 0.025). CONCLUSION: Short period of testosterone replacement therapy in young HH male patients significantly improves the insulin sensitivity and decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the puberty timing in healthy adolescent boys in Daqing city in northern China. METHODS: A cross-sectional and longitudinal combined survey was performed. On 150 male students aged 6-15. Follow up was conducted for 4 years. The serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and total testosterone (TT) were measured. The puberty timing and anthropometry including the body height, weight, and genital development according to Tanner's stages were all recorded. RESULTS: The mean age of puberty onset in healthy adolescent boys is (12.0+/-1.6) years. The growth velocity in the first year after puberty onset is (6.9+/-0.4) cm/year. The level of plasma TT at the time of puberty onset is (1.0+/-0.3) nmol/L. CONCLUSION: The puberty timing of boys in the Daqing city, northern China is in the range from 8 to 14 years.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the process of puberty development of healthy adolescent girls in Northern China. METHODS: 288 adolescent girls of Daqing city, Heilongjiang province, aged 5 to 16, were studied and followed up yearly for four years. The height, weight, fat percentage, second sex characteristics, and the blood levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E(2)) were examined. RESULTS: The mean age of puberty onset of these healthy adolescent girls was 8.5 years +/- 1.1 years. The blood levels of FSH, LH and E(2) were 0.2 mIU/L, 1.1 mIU/L and 0.06 nmol/L respectively (the 95 percentiles were 2.5 mIU/L, 2.3 mIU/L and 0.12 nmol/L respectively). Their mean age of menarche was 12.4 years +/- 1.2 years. The mean age of breast development was 8.8 years +/- 1.1 years. CONCLUSION: The girls in Northern China begin their puberty development at younger ages than reported before.
