Testosterone therapy reduces insulin resistance in men with adult‐onset testosterone deficiency and metabolic syndrome. Results from the Moscow Study, a randomized controlled trial with an open‐label phase (2024)
Journal Article

Aims To describe changes in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) following testosterone therapy in men with hypogonadism and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Materials and Methods A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-...

Testosterone Replacement Therapy: Effects on Blood Pressure in Hypogonadal Men (2024)
Journal Article

While testosterone therapy can improve the various pathologies associated with adult-onset testosterone deficiency (TD), Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) of five testosterone preparations caution that treatment may be associated with hyperten...

Testosterone replacement therapy: association with mortality in high‐risk patient subgroups (2023)
Journal Article

Objectives We describe studies determining the association between testosterone therapy (TTh) and mortality. Materials & methods We used a registry database of 737 men with adult-onset testosterone deficiency defined as presenting with low serum...

P83: A Pilot Study to assess Peak Systolic Velocity as A Possible Marker of Atherosclerotic Burden Using Ultrasound (2017)
Journal Article

Introduction: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been associated with lower peak systolic velocity (PSV) on penile Doppler measurements [1]. This study establishes whether carotid ultrasound (US) PSV was associated with computational fluid dynamics (CF...

Vitamin D and oestrogen receptor polymorphisms in developmental dysplasia of the hip and primary protrusio acetabuli – A preliminary study (2007)
Journal Article

We investigated the association of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and primary protrusion acetabuli (PPA) with Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms Taq I and Fok I and oestrogen receptor polymorphisms Pvu II and Xba I. 45 patients with DDH and 2...

Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship? (2006)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: The relationship between asthma severity and atopy is complex. Many studies have failed to show significant relationships between clinical severity or lung function and markers of atopic sensitisation. AIM: To determine whether increasing...

Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families. (2005)
Journal Article

RATIONALE: Previous data have suggested that glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genotypes are important in determining the rate of lung function growth in childhood. This effect was most marked in Caucasian children with asthma. OBJECTIVES: We investiga... Read More about Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families..

Maternal glutathione S-transferase GSTP1 genotype is a specific predictor of phenotype in children with asthma. (2005)
Journal Article

Maternal factors are known to influence the heritability and expression of asthma and atopy. We report the association of maternal, paternal and proband GSTP1 genotype with lung function in 145 Caucasian children with asthma. GSTP1 Val105/Val105 and...

Prostate cancer risk: associations with ultraviolet radiation, tyrosinase and melanocortin-1 receptor genotypes (2001)
Journal Article

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation may reduce prostate cancer risk, suggesting that polymorphism in genes that mediate host pigmentation will be associated with susceptibility to this cancer. We studied 210 prostate cancer cases and 155 controls to de... Read More about Prostate cancer risk: associations with ultraviolet radiation, tyrosinase and melanocortin-1 receptor genotypes.

Simultaneous identification of GSTP1 Ile105-->Val105 and Ala114-->Val114 substitutions using an amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction assay: studies in patients with asthma (2001)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND The glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme GSTP1 utilizes byproducts of oxidative stress. We previously showed that alleles of GSTP1 that encode the Ile105-->Val105 substitution are associated with the asthma phenotypes of atopy and bronc...
