Abstract
There have been a lot of discussions concerning the relationship between testosterone serum levels in males and diabetes. Low testosterone is commonly associated with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Testosterone therapy alters the body composition in a metabolically favorable manner. In this article we shed some light on the bidirectional relation between hypotestosteronemia and diabetes discussing also the possible mechanisms and the benefit of treatment.
Keywords: Hypotestosteronemia, testosterone, diabetes, glucose metabolism, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance.
