Abstract:
The relationship of erectile dysfunction (ED) with serum levels of total testosterone (TT) and free testosterone (FT) was investigated in 53 men with type 2 diabetes under 50 years of age.The relevant clinical status was matched and no significant difference was noticed for TT [ ( 14.11 ±5.81 vs 14.97 ±4.93 ) nmol/L] and FT [ (9.31 ± 8.84 vs 8.72 ± 5.33 ) pg/ml ] levels in type 2 diabetic patients with and without ED.This study has demonstrated that testicular androgen may not contribute to ED in young and middle-aged men with type 2 diabetes.
