Descrizione dettagliata
This protocol will address the impact of three months of testosterone (T) therapy on all components of the metabolic syndrome and the mechanism underlying changes in insulin sensitivity by analyzing changes in body composition, and detailed studies of fat metabolism and skeletal muscle. In addition, this protocol will address the role of estradiol (E2) in mediating the effect of testosterone on insulin sensitivity.
Seventy-two subjects will be enrolled. Study subjects will undergo a screening visit to assess eligibility after which a baseline metabolic assessment will be performed including a a fasting oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to measure normal glucose and insulin metabolism, an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) to measure insulin sensitivity, MRI and DEXA scan to assess muscle and body fat distribution, VO2 max test and resting metabolic rate, and a muscle biopsy to look at how the muscle is affected by insulin and testosterone (T).
Subjects will then be randomized to one of three 12-week treatment arms, 1) Group 1 (Placebo); 2) Group 2 (Depot GnRH agonist (Zoladex) + Testosterone + placebo); or 3) Group 3 (Zoladex + Testosterone + aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole)). The rationale for this study design is as follows. Under normal physiological conditions, administration of T leads to a concomitant increase in estradiol (E2) levels due to endogenous conversion by the aromatase enzyme system. Therefore, in order to understand the relative roles of T and E2 on insulin sensitivity, one group of subjects will receive T in conjunction with the aromatase inhibitor, anastrozole.
At 13 weeks, the entire baseline evaluation including OGTT, IVGTT, resting metabolic rate and VO2 max, body composition assessment by DEXA and MRI, and muscle biopsy will be repeated. Subjects will return for a follow up visit four weeks later to measure CBC, T and PSA levels, to ensure levels are within the normal range.

The IVGTT (70) is a 4 hour study with baseline sampling for insulin and glucose, followed by the administration of 0.3 mg/kg infusion of glucose, and subsequent frequent samples through 180 minutes.
At 20 minutes, subjects will receive a 0.03 U/kg infusion of regular human insulin over 45 seconds to enhance the insulin level to better help us assess the impact of insulin on glucose uptake and to facilitate minimal model analysis.
The IVGTT will be administered at baseline and after 3 months.
Altri nomi:
This test is employed to assess VO2max in all subjects.
O2 and CO2 will be collected and measured from the expired air during the exercise stress test and used to calculate VO2max.
This test will be administered at baseline and after 3 months.
1H-MR spectroscopy will be performed to measure IMCL at baseline and after 3 months.
Biopsies (20-50mg) will be obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle under local anesthesia (1% lidocaine) using a 5 mm Bergström needle (65) with suction applied.
The muscle biopsy will be performed at baseline and after 3 months.
Energy expenditure in the form of resting metabolic rate (RMR) will be measured via a metabolic monitor at baseline and after 3 months.
Total and regional percent body fat, fat mass, lean tissue mass and bone mineral content will be determined by DEXA (Lunar Prodigy version 8.50).
DEXA provides an in vivo assessment of body composition with minimal requirements for subject cooperation and will be employed at baseline and after 3 months.

To examine glucose and insulin metabolism a standard 75g OGTT will be conducted at baseline and after 3 months.
