مقاله پژوهشی




مقدمه: همبستگی منفی بین سطح تستوسترون سرم و هموگلوبین گلیکوزیله دیده شده است. ال- آرژینین، موجب کاهش سطوح گلوکز و کلسترول سرم در دیابت می‌شود. لذا این مطالعه با هدف تعیین تأثیر ال- آرژنین بر عملکرد جنسی و هیپوگنادیسم انجام شد.
روش‌ها: در این مطالعه‌ی کارآزمایی بالینی، 50 مرد مبتلا به دیابت نوع 2 و علائم هیپوگنادیسم به طور تصادفی به دو گروه تقسیم شدند. اطلاعات دموگرافیک و آزمایشگاهی و پرسشنامه‌ی بین‌المللی اختلال نعوظ 5 (IIEF5) در هر دو گروه تکمیل شد. سپس گروه اول، ال-آرژنین خوراکی 3 گرم تک دوز در روز به مدت 8 هفته و گروه دوم، یک ویال دارونما به مدت 8 هفته دریافت کردند. پیامدهای اولیه شامل سطح تستوسترون تام و آزاد پلاسمایی و پیامدهای ثانویه شامل عملکرد جنسی و علائم هیپوگنادیسم بین دو گروه مقایسه شد.
یافته‌ها: در گروه ال- آرژنین پس از 8 هفته مداخله عملکرد جنسی (3/84 ± 36/43 به 4/11 ± 44/28، 0/001 = P) و سطح پلاسمایی تستوسترون آزاد (0/07 ± 16/19 به 1/25 ± 21/22، 0/001 = P) و کل (2/35 ± 6/79 به 3/11 ± 7/78، 0/031 = P) به طور معنی‌داری افزایش یافت. در حالی که تغییر معنی‌داری در گروه دارونما مشاهده نشد (05/0 ≤ P). تفاوت بارزی در فراوانی عوارض جانبی در دو گروه مشاهده نشد (0/947 = P).
نتیجه‌گیری: ال- آرژنین خوراکی، بر عملکرد جنسی و علائم هیپوگنادیسم در مردان مبتلا به دیابت نوع 2 مؤثر بود. بنابراین ال -آرژنین می‌تواند جایگزین مناسبی برای تستوسترون در درمان هیپوگنادیسم در مردان مبتلا به دیابت نوع 2 باشد.

چکیده [English]

Background: A negative correlation has been seen between serum testosterone levels and glycosylated hemoglobin. L-arginine reduces serum glucose and cholesterol levels in diabetes. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of L-arginine on sexual function and hypogonadism.
Methods: In this clinical trial study, 50 men with type 2 diabetes and symptoms of hypogonadism were randomly divided into two groups. Demographic and laboratory information and International Erectile Dysfunction Questionnaire 5 (IIEF5) were completed in both groups. Then, the first group received an oral L-arginine 3 gram single dose per day for 8 weeks, and the second group received a placebo vial for 8 weeks. We compared the primary outcomes, including total and free testosterone plasma levels, as well as secondary outcomes, such as Sexual function and symptoms of hypogonadism between the two groups.
Findings: In the L-arginine group, after 8 weeks of intervention, sexual performance (36.43 ± 3.84 to 28.44 ± 11.4, P = 0.001) and free testosterone plasma level (19.16 ± 0.07 to 22.21 ± 1.25, P = 0.001) (79.6 ± 35.2 to 78.8 ± 11.3, P = 0.031) significantly increased While there were no significant changes in the placebo group (P ≥ 0.05). side effects (P ≥ 0.05). did not show significant differences between the two groups.
Conclusion: Oral L-arginine is effective on sexual performance and symptoms of hypogonadism in type 2 diabetic men. Therefore, L-arginine can be a suitable alternative to testosterone in the treatment of hypogonadism in men with type 2 diabetes.
