    Abstract Testosterone replacement therapies have been shown to increase blood pressure (BP) in hypogonadal men. We studied the effects of a new formulation of testosterone undecanoate (Kyzatrex™) on ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) and heart rate, in 155 men with hypogonadism (mean age, 50.5 years, 76.8% white, 36.1% on antihypertensive therapy). The ABP, heart rate and clinical assessments were obtained at baseline and following 120 and 180 days of therapy. Mean changes from baseline in 24-h ambulatory systolic BP of 1.7 mmHg (95% CI, 0.3, 3.1) at day 120 and 1.8 mmHg (95% CI, 0.3, 3.2) at day 180 were observed post-treatment. For those men on antihypertensive drug therapy, increases in mean 24-h systolic BP were greater than those not taking antihypertensive drugs (3.4 vs 0.7 mmHg at day 120 and 3.1 vs 1.0 mmHg at day 180, respectively). Changes from baseline in 24-h diastolic BP and heart rate at day 120 were smaller (<1 mmHg and <1 beat/min, respectively). There were no relationships observed between testosterone concentration or hemoglobin levels with ABP. Multivariable analyses showed that baseline ambulatory BP and antihypertensive therapy were significantly correlated with BP changes. These data demonstrate small increases in ambulatory BP following 120 days on this oral testosterone undecanoate with no further changes at 180 days. Changes in ambulatory BP were minimal in patients not taking antihypertensive therapy.

    Abstract Although hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia are cosmetic problems, they can be psychologically devastating for women. Mechanical hair removal may control the cosmetic appearance of hirsutism, but the underlying problem usually continues to progress. Topical therapies for androgenetic alopecia provide for modest improvement at best, and no topical therapy has been shown to be effective for hirsutism. Antiandrogens, combined with ovarian suppression, offer the best hope for the improvement of hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women with PCOS. Improvement will occur in most women. Unless the underlying cause of the PCOS is corrected, medical therapy will need to be continued indefinitely.

    Abstract Although hirsutism is more a cosmetic and psychosocial problem than a disease, hirsute women are often some of the most grateful patients in an endocrinologist's practice. The combination of mechanical hair removal and judicious use of medications will improve hair growth in most women. Unfortunately, no drug is approved by regulatory agencies in North America for treatment of hirsutism. Well designed comparative studies with objective end points are needed to demonstrate which drugs work best in which hirsute women. Because pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to market drugs for women of child-bearing age, there has been little industry support for such studies.

    Abstract Androgens are part of normal female physiology. When they are secreted in excess or when they cause unwanted symptoms such as hirsutism and male-pattern baldness, the term hyperandrogenism is used. In many hyperandrogenic women, there is no well-defined hormonal abnormality, but the women are simply on one end of a normal spectrum of androgen secretion and cutaneous androgen sensitivity. To be active in the skin, testosterone must be converted to dihydrotestosterone by the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase. Androgen sensitivity is determined, in part, by 5 alpha-reductase activity in the skin. This is a localized phenomenon, and there is no generalized increase in 5 alpha-reductase activity in these women. Dihydrotestosterone can be converted to glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, including androstanediol glucuronide. These androgen conjugates have been proposed to be serum markers of cutaneous androgen metabolism, but recent evidence indicates that they arise from adrenal precursors and are more likely to be markers of adrenal steroid production and metabolism. Antiandrogens (androgen receptor blockers) are the best medical treatment of cutaneous hyperandrogenism. 5 alpha-Reductase inhibitors have recently been approved for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and research is currently underway to determine their effectiveness in treating hirsutism and male-pattern baldness.
