Efeitos Cardiovasculares da Testosterona

Abstract: Com o envelhecimento há um incremento na prevalência de doenças cardiovasculares 1 . Paralelamente, ocorre redução progressiva na concentração sérica dos hormônios sexuais masculinos, sendo que nas faixas etárias mais avançadas a testosterona é reduzida em, aproximadamente, 15 a 20% 2 dos indivíduos. Os receptores de androgênios distribuem-se amplamente nos tecidos vasculares, como a aorta, vasculatura periférica e células atriais e ventriculares 3 . Dessa forma, é possível supor que os hormônios sexuais no ho… Show more

“…A progressive increase in plasma insulin concentrations is associated with aging (Gebara and others 2002; Ezaki 2006; Celec and others 2007), insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance. Serum insulin concentrations revealed that there is no significant difference among groups; however, animals that received the soybean‐based diet (non‐GMS and GMS) presented insulin concentrations slight lower than those of CG.…”

“…Aging is generally associated with changes in the cardiovascular system, particularly in the structure and function of the arteries. Structural and functional changes in the arteries become evident in the aging process, causing cardiac hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and artery thickening with collagen accumulation in the animals’ heart tissue (Gray and others 1991; Águila and Mandarim‐de‐Lacerda 2001; Gebara and others 2002; Catalano and others 2005; Ezaki 2006). …”

“…Com o envelhecimento, ocorre uma diminuição nas concentrações isoladas de testosterona livre e total. Após os 50 anos, a concentração sérica de testosterona apresenta diminuição de 1% ao ano 14 . Essa redução está diretamente relacionada ao hipogonadismo 21 (2000) 1 verificou esta mesma relação da insulina com a testosterona, quando os grupos ingeriram uma refeição completa (carboidrato, gordura e proteína) ou somente uma bebida rica em carboidratos, ou somente uma suplementação constituída de proteína e carboidrato, imediatamente, 2 e 4 horas após a sessão de treinamento.…”

“…The adrenal gland produces residual quantities of testosterone. In women, the adrenal gland is responsible for the production of between 50% and 60% of androgenic requirements, but in men, the biological significance of this secretion is minimal 11,12 . The steroid hormones produced by the gonads have a fundamental role in the metabolism of lipids and proteins.…”

“…The steroid hormones produced by the gonads have a fundamental role in the metabolism of lipids and proteins. From among the androgens, testosterone has an important effect on the circulating levels of cholesterol, increasing lowdensity lipoproteins and reducing high-density lipoproteins 11 . It seems that the direct replacement of testosterone does not affect cluster headache attacks, possibly because synthetic testosterone does not reach hypothalamic receptors.…”
