NCT01454011

Brief Summary

The study is designed to answer the following questions:

  1. 1.Is there any difference between the compositions of the HDL cholesterol subpopulations of patients with hypogonadism and the healthy controls.
  2. 2.What is the effect of testosterone replacement therapy on the distributions of HDL subgroups.
  3. 3.Is there any difference between the effects of the two different testosteron replacement regiments

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in the HDL cholesterol levels and the HDL subgroups

    The HDL subfractions were measured by polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation technique. Two different reagents were prepared in different PEG concentrations and pH values. The supernatant of the solution precipitated with reagent A contained total HDL cholesterol while the supernatant of the solution precipitated with reagent B, contained only the HDL3 subclass. The cholesterol was then quantified by enzymatic with CHOD-PAP reagent (Olympus Diagnostics GmbH, Hamburg, Germany). HDL2 cholesterol was measured by calculating the difference between total HDL and the HDL3 subclass.
